50k mile Services?

I'm finally comeing up on the 50k mile mark and am wondering what I should have done at that mark, or should have done by then? Any help is apreciated.

I have changed the tires so far, (and rotated) but thats really been it so far. (other then regular oil changes)

Thanks

lol no ****
I'm pretty sure ac delco plugs are rated at 100,000. I changed mine at 90 and they were still looking pretty good. I'd replace the fuel filter as well. Other than that nothing that comes to mind.

lol, power steering fluid...lol.

Thanks for the other information though. I know brakes are going to be needed pretty soon And Trany fluid, and a coolant flush. Do I need to clean the throttle body? injectors? are we sure the spark plugs are good for 100k? or is it tune up time too? (plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter?)

I would clean the tb, check the air filter, replace the fuel filter, replace the cabin air filter (its gross by now trust me) coolant flush is a good idea, tranny fluid as well. Check the brake fluid, plug wires should be mint, plugs is your call. I seafoamed my car at 50k as well.

Check your owners manual. Everything should be in there for what you should do at 50k. And it'll tell you when you need to change your plugs.

Tranny oil should be changed every 30k so def. do that, Brake fluid should be changed also at 30k also do that, fuel filter 30k, coolant flush you dont need to do that only do it for the h/e if you have a aftermarket one on. Check cabin air filter def. Spark plugs should be changed every 10-15k if your running ngk's and your aggressively tuned. Seafoam is also a good idea i do that once a year or 15-25k.

Ive seen several of these type questions
Not to sound like a jerk or anything
but drop a few bux, and buy a haynes or chilton's
manual. It has a maitenance schedual in it. I think
theres one in the Owners manual too, wich if you
dont have, is avalible online for free.
