depends on how long since your last major service... These things should prob be done by a mechanic if your havin to ask such Q's but ur cam/altnator/fan belts would need to be addressed at some stage and hopefully before the 100k mark or 100k after the last one was done... U could also check coolant levels and or flush/remove and then flush radator, depending on its condition.. you would also need to check all the Brake/clutch/transmision fluid levels and or flush the brake lines.. I mean with a service u could do a basic one, a major one or just pull everything to peices and put in new/aftermarket parts on the broken bits... Tis all up to u after u take care of the Necessitys

OEM leads are fine for stock engine/everyday drivin,

NGK BCPR5E-11 is what spark plugs i would use,

see here for other (more expensive) options:

think about doing the fuel filter too,

and of course oil and oil filter...
