[QUOTE="Yardsale , post: 1025305, member: 58988"] Agree with Vic. In that you probably don't know the service history, do [u]all[/u] the fluids. If you're up for some of it, save some money on labor and maybe put it toward other items that you don't want to do yourself (valve cover, thermostat housing and transmission flush, for instance). Without knowing your abilities or desires, some items that are doable at home are (in order of ease): Serpentine belt (half a beer) Air filter (the other half of beer) Fuel filter (~one beer) Sway bar end links (one beer) Oil and oil filter (one beer) Spark plugs (three beers - this is more a pain than difficult; see recent posts) These represent a lot of labor cost.
