Spark plugs, PCV valve, belts, inspect brakes, inspect shocks and struts. Inspect your lower control arm and compression rod bushings. Air filter, in cabin air filter, coolant flush, inspect your valve covers when you change your plugs. If you find oil, replace your valve covers. Transmission fluid drain and fill, differential oil change. That's a good idea as to what to get done.

yes, there is. The oem NGK Iridium plugs. Go to an Advanced Auto or O'reillys, it's usually around the same price as whatever you might find online. I spent about $50 on mine, 3 times so far...don't ask..

go walk into an auto store like autozone locally and give them your year and model...they can get you the oem plugs for half the dealer price

I'm scared of hitting 100K. I am currently at 72K on my 07 Coupe. I'm thinking of buying all that stuff needed just so it won't impact my pocket when the 100K mi come.

Since you have auto you can flush the transmission... That's always up for debate. 6mt it's better to drain and fill. This is based off threads I've read when looking what to do with my 6mt fluid a couple months back.

^ x2, I hear flushing your transmission after a certain point can do more harm than good.. I'm at 150K and never done a transmission flush, but I'm running stock everything..

I did spark plugs, accessory belts, brakes, air filter, in cabin air filter, coolant flush, oil change, all at ~95K... You're almost guaranteed to find oil in spark plug #6 tube https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-cou...rranty-up.html ... I found a small pool in mine, so before I pulled the old plug out, I soaked up as much oil in the as I could, then removed the old plug and took out the remaining oil from the #6 tube, gapped and installed the new spark plugs, no issues...

Hell, my G just hit 150K miles and still gets 28.5MPG @ 65MPH when I draft behind semi's for extended periods of time...

I'm at 130k. My car runs stronger than she did at 30k. No worries when it comes to mileage on these engines. Take care of her and she will take care of you!
