What are recommended actions on 100k maintenance on a 2006 Equinox?
Dealer will tell you but its usually a multi point inspection...if its got a warranty it is free.. otherwise there is a minimum charge

If you live in an area of frequent high humidity, it might be a good idea to do it as a preventative measure since both brake and power steering fluids are hygroscopic and could absorb enough water to affect their performance.
Since most hydraulic fluids also suffer from exposure to heat over time, that might also weigh in the decision.
I probably would not personally opt for it since your mileage and the age of your car don't seem to justify it.
These things always seem like the medical equivalent of tonsillectomies; a (related) doctor once told me that those were often not necessary and could be treated with medication unless chronic, but they were safe surgeries and helped pay the rent.
I do recall being told by an automatic transmission specialist that unless something failed, don't do anything to it.
He said the changing and flushing could introduce contamination that otherwise wouldn't be there.
SOURCE: what octane gas is recommended
87 octane on all models except the ss models then this would be 91octane.
SOURCE: I have a 2007 Chevy Equinox needing a transmission flush
It is best to flush the fluid this gets the fluid out of the torque converter.This transmission uses special fluid tpye t-Iv gm # 88900925 do not use dexron fluid in this transmission.

at 60k, if it aint been done,do the lot.....filters oils.....antifreeze.....belts.....timing belt. then you have another 60k before you have another big bill.....
Testimonial: "Thanks for the help. I didn't realize that it would need a timing belt so soon."
SOURCE: what recommended service is there for the 2005
Definately do the plugs and wires, air filter, Transmission service, Brake fluid flush, coolant flush, power steering flush and differential (if applicable to your car) if money allows. Priority would be plugs and wires, air filter, trans service and coolant for now And then work your way down.
