Help for maintenance and tune up

Hello every1,

I got a 2005 TL with a spec skirt kit (don't matter really). I have 83000 km = 51573.808 mi. (google). Now I have done complete transmission flush with redline, brake fluid flush, prestone flush all at 50000km or 26000 miles, oil changes at every 5000 km with mobile one syntetic oil.

What can I do for maintenace? should I change spark pluggs if yes which kind? Anything else you guys can provide .
Also I gte bad gas millage and am not a rough driver 170 km ( 105 miles) with half a tank I find that poor


thank you in advance

You don't have to change your spark plugs, but it might help. Denso iridium spark plugs are good ones to get.

Check your air filter and either replace it or get a quality K&N air filter. If you're so inclined, replace the in-cabin air filter also. As far as the bad mileage goes, how are the tires? Have you checked the air pressure? It should be between 30-35 PSI all around.

And I hope you didn't do the flush, and you meant a drain and fill for the transmission.

ohh sorry,...yes air filter was replaced not cabine. tires are 2 years old maybe 25000km on them always at 34 psi.
Transmission: I brought it to tranmission specialist he putt it on some type of machine and I needed 12 liters (45 galons) to fill tansmisssion again
So not much I can do on it right
