As was mentioned, change the spark plugs and also the radiator fluid if they haven't already been replaced - sparks plugs were due at 60k and radiator fluid at 100k miles. Inspect the serpentine belt for wear/cracks and replace if needed. Brake pads are as needed. The rest of the maintenance is just standard oil and filters.

Check the rear calipers. There was a recall to replace or regreased the guide pins. IF your pins are seized, you will notice your rear brakes wearing differently from the inside pad to the outside.

I figured the spark plugs. Do You guys suggest the stock sparkplugs. And is there a specfic radiator fluid that I have to use. I have always driven a Honda so they always have upgrades for everything lol but it was very slow compared to this car.

Stock plugs are the way to go ...i'm guessing that the fluid change should be whatever came in the car.

I believe a brake fluid change is recommended. I also changed the rear diff fluid.

Brake fluid is every 30k (so 30,60, 90, 120, etc), same time you change air/cabin filters

Plugs are every 60k... coolant is at 100k.
