Default 50k Maintenance

I have a relatively stock '02 WS.6 with a little over 50k miles on it. The only thing I have done is put a cut-out on it.

What maintenance is recommended for the 50k mile mark? I replaced the air, fuel, and oil filters early fall of 2007.

Thanks!

If you look in the back of your manual I think it has a chart.
your basicly looking at fluids tranny and rear your tranny is realy supposed to be done earlier depending if it a auto or a manual.
Plugs are a good one I wouldent be concerned about the wires they should be good for about 100,000 but if you want and have the cash its not a bad thing to replace.
Dont get crapy plugs if you do I'll recomend AC DELCO Irudium plugs their good for 100,000 miles because of what the core is made of other will recomend other brands of corse.
but I'd say the main thing is your fluids you can probly go a while longer with out plugs and wires.

Definitely the coolant if it never has been done. Factory Dexcool is fine if you replace it every few years. It is NOT lifetime stuff as advertised but works fine over the short haul or low miles.
