Hey guys and girls..
Got mad questions.. well actually i need some advice.. haha.. I've bought my TL brand spanking new off the in 2005. I've always done my oil changes on time, rotate and balanced my wheels every other oil change at the dealership. I had to get my transimission swapped out for a new one under warrenty for some problems it had in 2006. I've upgraded to AEM CAI this year and had my induction service done and transmission service done just recently.
now my question is what is due now?
i mean when do i need the spark plugs to be changed?
when do i need the timing belt adjusted?
when do i need to change my belts?
when should i get an alignment?
things like that.. i mean 96k miles and nothing is due.. just wondering. i drive about 3k miles a month and i drive it to oxnard from san diego every month or other month. im mean im proud of the car holding up but i just want it to stay that way.
i mean i took the car for its oil change and asked about things like that and they said it looked all fine.. i mean my engine isnt as quiet when i bought it and i really want it back to that.. i mean i can hear the CAI but i also here the belts and other things. what should i do? any feed back is helpful!

timing belt / water pump / tensioner at 105k unless you drive real hard / extreme weather / traffic.. then do it asap. The drivebelts are changed during this service since they need to remove them anyways..
Spark plugs.. if you haven't done them yet then you should get them swapped.. I believe the service is 105k.. but no reason to wait. NGK Iridiums when you're ready.
As far as engine noise / smoothness.. clean out the intake & fuel inj with some seafoam / b12 (tank only).. Make sure your intake filter is clean but don't over oil it. Run a high quality synthetic.. it was day & night when I switched to Royal P.
Alignment only if you notice the car pulling or you see uneven tire tread wear. Change the brake fluid if you haven't done so.. every 3 yrs, and then every year after is recommended.. it's easy as well. I use Castrol GT LMA BF. Also coolant...
