Tune up..

Plugs are 100K, so no need to even think about changing until at least 60K and most likely they will be ok until around 80K.
Read the owner's manual and find out what is required, and don't let a dealer sell you something you DO NOT need (unless you want to help the dealer out).

Next week, at 18K, I'm going to check:
Air Filter
Change oil/filter
Check coolant level
Install Silverstars in headlamps and fog lamps
I have already changed out the blades

F5, I was just wondering if there is a thread out there with instructions on replacing the head/fog lights or is it in the owners manual?...

Thanks

Cool 100K plugs. Thanks F5FStop

One less thing to worry about!

I guess I should read my manual

Headlamps:
Open hood, reach down to the back of the headlamp assembly, grab the connector, turn about a quarter turn, and pull back and remove bulb. Only caution is to make sure not to touch the bulbs, since oil from the fingers will cause a possible hot spot and burn the bulb out. Cotton gloves are good to use. If you touch the bulb, clean with alcohol.

As for fogs, I believe all you have to do is reach up between the shield and the front bumper, or remove the engine shield, which I will have off when I get around to the oil change.
