50K mile maintence...

Im very close to 50K miles in my 2K se. It has the original battery,plugs,belts,hoses. I am planning on swapping out the battery,belts,hoses, coolant,spark plugs, and change out my brake pads if needed. I keep up with the air filter and the tranny/engine oil (M1). Anything else I should/could do? Things to avoid? I'm doing this stuff tommorrow I think. I am home right now for xmas break at college so I really can't do maintenece more then 2x a year.

I would also replace pcv valve/ps&brake fluids, clean the throttle body housing and also the fuel injectors w/B&G products?

did you guys open the engine up to clean the injectors or just use one of those additives you add to the gasoline?

Use additive. And try to use a good product that really works.

PS. Do we really need to replace the hoses and spark plug wires at 50K miles?
