At 50K, you should change the air filters, or clean them if you have K&N's. If you're replacing them, think about getting K&N's.

P/N 33-2290 and, of course, you need 2 of them. Amazon is $31 each with free shipping. They are much better than any others. And last forever. Just clean and oil them every 15K miles:

The cleaning/oil kit is another $12:

At 50K you might be getting gunky deposits in the throttle body and MAF. They can both be cleaned, but you may ask someone else to do it. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. 33/32 as I recall.

I think it's too early for spark plugs.

Anyone else? Help this lady-she's one of the good ones!
