Default maintnence check up

ok so ill be coming up on 55,000mi and are there any areas i should paysome extra attention to?? i had the tranny flushed about a week ago ill be changing out the plugs, wires, and cap and rotor this week, and once the weather gets decent new brakes all around. it also seems a bit sluggish nothin major but im hoping the the plugs, wires and cap along with recharging the filter takes care of that.

Add some Seafoam to your next tank of fuel to clean your injectors.

While you're doing your brakes inspect your balljoints, tie rod ends and idler arm for wear.

How long since you did a coolant drain and flush?
