I bought my car with 75,000 mi (97SE) and havent done anything more than the basics and I am at 110,000 now. I have been in college all this year and with summer coming, i need to take care of my car before it gives me any trouble. I know i need new brake pads, as well as all of the 90k and 100k maintenance items. I know this post may seem redundant but i would love to know what i need to do.

I know spark plugs, fuel filter, MTF, coolant, brake pads....but what else, how much, and where should i get all of that??

Thank you for your help!

Belts, power steering flush, PCV valve, clean the TB, flush your brake fluid when you change the pads.

 

axel's i would do them now they are cheep enough and you wont have problems this winter, also clean your grounds now with some contact cleaner

 

This seems kind of overwhelming. Should i go to a mechanic for all this?

 

really its not too bad, just tidious work. i personally have never flushed my steering fluid or brake fluid, but i dont imagine it being too difficult. if these jobs make you nervous, maybe you should go to a mechanic. but if you can do the work that is in your sig, then you should be able to the work that njmax and kcfish said.

good luck. also, check your spark plugs.
