Great! thanks guys, I will be sure to buy these when I pull out the checkbook.

The other things on the list, you do not have the mileage for, but definitely the age. Many here overlook the fact that not everything is mileage, a lot is age related as well. Now I am not telling anyone to swap out plugs on a 5K mile car, but at 30K and a potential of being up to 8 years old, I would think about it, as well as the fuel filter and differential.

How old is the car?
-You are probably right on the age portion, thank you for pointing that out. My car is a 2006, already 6 years old, and you make a good point that many fluids and parts are probably getting old.
-Refering to what alaxfire stated, I could do and probably should do the air filters and fan cleaning.
-Now, when referring to brake flushes and coolant flushes, would those be things I would have to pay a shop to complete? Same question for the fuel filter.
-Is there a way I can check my spark plugs, to see if they are in good condition?
-Differential, you mean differential fluid change right?

Thanks in advance for putting up with my inadequate knowledge.
