    Well after 14 years it's almost time for my next "major service".
    The last one was at 30k miles, in 1999. LOL.

    I've done tires and brakes within the last year. Other than that,
    these things come to mind:

    Spark plugs
    Replace coolant
    Replace transmission fluid
    Replace air filter
    Replace fuel filter (if you can get to it)

    What else would you suggest?

    What about power steering fluid? Does it ever need to be changed?

    What else?

    Thanks for suggestions.

    Replace:
    Timing belt, water pump, and tensioner.
    Alternator, power steering, and a/c belts.

    If you are not happy with the car's mileage, consider also:
    Ignition wires.
    PCV valve.

    You can skip changing out PS fluid.

    Engine oil and filter. LOL.

  5. Read the owner's manual for maintenance recommendations, including those
    based on time for low mileage vehicles (e.g. "change oil every x,xxx miles
    or yy months/years, whichever comes first").

    Check parts that contain rubber for age related deterioration (e.g. tires,
    belts (including timing belt), wiper blade rubber, weatherstripping).

    Brake fluid absorbs water over time, so you may want to change that if
    it has been a few years since it was changed. Waterlogged brake fluid
    has a lower boiling point, so under hard braking, it may vaporize more
    easily.
