Default 2001 Dodge Stratus Maintenance

I am in a bind!

My girlfriend as a 2001 Dodge Stratus,no RT or anything,just the plain Jane V6. She has lost her book. I am not the most car savy guy in the world and need some help for maintenance.

She has around 74,000 miles and she hasnt done barely anything to it that I know needs to be done. She has kept up to date on her oil changes,air filters and all that good stuff,but I know there is some deep work to be done or at least checked.

Can someone please post some things that should be checked,replaced or a little help with the maintenance schedule??
There are currently no problems at all with the vehicle and it runs fine.

I am sure spark plugs need to be done? Is that hard on a stratus to replace for a first timer? Where does everyone reccommend going for good,not over priced maintenance besides the dealer?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as and thank you all in advance!!

:help: :help: :help: :help:

A few of them would be plugs, tranny service, fuel system service. The plugs are not that hard to do but are more of a PITA as the plugs are hard to get at in the rear. My thoughts on it are if your not very car savy you may get aggravated from doing it yourself.

Actually its the 3.0 and looks exactly the same as yours in your gallery..minus all the real nice upgrades. Its not an R/T though. What do you recommend for some updating at now that she has reached the 72k mark???
