Need Help Quick !!!

Hey guys, I have a 99' Camry with 51,000 km.

Now, I know that's not a lot of mileage, but I've never done anything to this car besides the usual oil changes every 5000 km.

So my question is what needs to be done ?
Is there any fluids that should be changed ?
Sparkplugs ? Anything ?

I know Toyota's are built extremely well, but if I want to make sure that I keep up with all my maintance.

Please, Camry gurus help.

Thanks

you could ask for a complete tune-up somewhere, that shoudl probably cover all the fluids that needs to be changed. your manual shoudl tell you what you need changed at what mileage interval

From memory, at that distance you should have your coolant changed, transmission fluid changed, new PCV valve, check/fill brake and power steering fluids. Also fuel filter, but a lot of people say you don't really have to change those til much, much later. You can clean the throttle as well. I' ve heard a recommendation for that every three oil changes but I don't know if that's strictly necessary. I'd also recommend an engine cleaner at your next oil change.

what he said^
change all fluids and filters and the pcv valve.
new plugs, and get injectors cleaned.
rotate and balance tires every other oil/filter change.
alignment once a year. inspect brake linings.
check all powertrain monitors. check co2 emission(13%or more).
vaccuum and wash the car.
maybe changing fuel filter and cleaning injectors are slightly overdoing it but it sure wont hurt.
