can somebody just give me the stuff i schould change...
my car is a 99 v6 with 80k
i changed the fuel/air filters did the trans service a while ago and did also the t. belt.... so its time for the plugs wires but then there are seals and stuff that i am not shure about...
are changing spark plugs really important? do they do that in dealership checkups?
varies on dealership. i think if you do their 60k maintenance spark plugs are included. i'd recommend that if you don't diy then go to a private shop because of price.
also, look into changing the timing belt and water pump while you're in there already.

Is chaning the wires that important? I have over 300K miles on our Previa with the orginal wires and over 200K miles on our Camry with the orginal wires.
correct me if i'm wrong but wires can be affected by climate. you like me live in CA and i still have my original wires (100 k ). however, at more humid climates or those in which there are significant temperature changes, wires may wear out. don't quote me on this though but thats one possible explanation.

Okay so my camry i took in for a 90k service.
I did everything that you have just listed. Many times they will inspect the car and determin other things but everything you have just listed i have changed.
Check toyota dealership sites...they have service department links which tell you what services are performed at what intervals for your car specifically. And each car is different as each driver is different. If you are hard on the car ur gunna end up replacing most every part.
looks like the only thing i should do different is change my coolant. and rotate tires........
hey on rotating tires......does the torque of the nuts really make a difference>? my dad has a torque wrench but it doesn't show you the amount of torque.......the one where it clicks twice when you have the amount set done.
