How many miles?

Spark plugs
Plug wires
check all fluids
oil change
tranny fluid
air filter/clean CAI filter

There are more, it all depends on your miles.

Yup, you're overdue for a tranny oil change and plugs/wires/air filter. If you have an OCC, hopefully you've emptied it on a regular basis.........

Don't forget the tranny oil additive.

Iridium plugs are working well for me. Mine are Autolites (I know, I know but they are not as much as others and are available next day here at Napa). I got a heat shield a long time ago and I live in Mi., so I dont worry about the wires as much as everyone else does. You are way overdue on the trans fluid. Three quarts of Redline C4 will fix you right up. It meets or exceeds all specs and I did not add a friction modifier to mine and have had no issues what so ever and my trans shifts way way better than it did with the factory goo. Use the Redline, even if you have to order it. It was about 9.50 a bottle at Lane automotive near me. A K&N drop in filter will be the last one I will have to buy for a very long time. Wash and reuse and make more power. What's not to like. Well, the price but hey if I get 2-3 hp for 49 bucks, I figure I did ok. Oil, filter, check belts and hoses/tubes brake pads, coolant, pwr steering and wiper blades and your about there. It goes without saying but I have to anyway. Use Mobile One oil or a better equivalent synthetic. I like some viscosity so I don't go lighter than 5W 30. I'm just old fashioned I guess but I just cant bring myself to putting 0W water thin oil in my motor. Just doesn't sit well with me.

P.S. don't forget tire pressures

I just almost went 0w the other day, but talked myself out of it. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but just can't bring myself to do it. 5w works just fine.
