Schedule 1/2 Maintenance
Both schedule maintenance tables show valve clearance adjustments AND
fuel filter at 60K mi. Is that what most of y'all have done?? I have always let my fuel filter be replaced with the 30K, 60K, etc. service. my 2000 Miata, believe or not, is not yet at 29,000. So near the first 30K service, plugs etc. Wednesday I am having my yearly oil and filter done (don't quite make 3k mi. in a year, with two other vehicles). but I figure just to hold off on the 30K service till next June/July, cause I will only be not quite 2,000 above 30K. |

Fuel filter would make sense, but not sure what "valve clearance
adjustments" are supposed to mean. AFAIK every Miata ever made has HLAs, meaning no valve adjustment is needed.

If you're going to open the valve covers and pay for that, they might as well adjust them properly. |

I hit ENTER too soon>>LOL. Anyway, my main question is, is 60,000 adequate for the fuel filter, I usually have it done at 30K with all my vehicles (Plugs and such at 30K). AND how many of you follow the Valve clearance recommendation??? |

Well Mal, You just need to get on board! YES, the later Miata / MX5 or
what ever else you want to call it, DO NOT have Hyd lifters !!! And !!!!! Yes, they need to be adjusted with shims ( They are "solid lifters" ) They should be adjusted a the 60,000 mils check. Bruce Bing '03 LS (with solid lifters & VVT) |

Had it done with each oil change. I did the oil/lube, but not the valves. |

The NA's had HLAs--The NBs have buckets and shims, no HLAs.
