Oil, Oil filter, Spark plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, check condition of break fluid and possible flush and refill. drain and refill tranmission fluid, check clutch fluid and also possible flush and refill. If coolant is old or extremly dirty, also flush and refill. Air filter, check fuel filter, if dirty replace. More things to keep in mind; When was the last time you had your brake pads/rotors checked or replaced? tires rotated? tire pressure checked ?

If this is a major tuneup, otherthings such as; Timing belt, waterpump,and possibly oil pump will need to be replaced. If you are just doing normal **** then what i mentioned above should be sufficent.

hey man welcome....

also while you have the oil filter off, I'd recommend chucking a new oil cooler o-ring on... they have a tendancy to go when you least expect it, and they're dirt cheap. you'll need a 30mm to get the oil cooler off.

stated perfectly right here. Also every time i am under my hood, when i am finishing up, i run a flashlight around and check for leaks.

Also, get yourself a helms manual if you dont have one already.

Also remember only do what you are skilled enough to do. If you are just learing about this stuff (which I dont know if you are) then I wouldn't jump into changing the timing belt or water pump yourself. Good luck man and wlecome to HT.
