    Plugs and wires if originals should have been changed at 100k with stock replacement AC delco plugs and wires.

    We have timing chains, no belts, so thats not a thing to ever worry about.

    If your transmission fluid has never been changed, DO NOT FLUSH, do a pan drop and filter change and fill with 7-8 quarts of fluid.

    Air filter, whenever its dirty.

    Wouldnt be a bad idea to clean the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner and take the Throttle body off and clean that too, to help bring thorttle response and maybe a few mpgs back.

    That is actually a pretty good idea, that would be a great sticky if we got the info gathered.

    Going back to your question, at your mileage I'd consider changing any questionable fluids. I'm talking about steering, brake, coolant and tranny.

    Ten years of continuous driving excitement and counting!

    Don't forget the fuel filter and pcv valves, they're probably due as well.
