Typical 100,000 mile maintenance

Well, actually, 130,000 miles now, but hey, better late than never!

I have a bone stock LT1 and am just checking to see what I need to do to get it back into shape for this year. The car stutters a bit at low RPMs (1000-1500) right now, planning on replacing the plugs and wires. What I'm not sure on is the opti. It's the vented Opti ('97) and seems to be running fine - is this one of those things where if it's not broken, I shouldn't touch it? Or should I replace that too?

Also, any other typical maintenance that should be done at this mileage?

Plugs wires cap rotor, all fluids, water pump is good insurance while you are doing cap and rotor.

Change plugs, change oil, tankful of 93, and hit the gas.

OP -

You could replace the trans fluid too - A4 or M6 - they both use ATF; Dexron III for the manual (NOT Dexron IV or above) , not sure on the Auto.

Just a thought...
