I believe it is called a rotor. I would also change the fuel filter

A few other things to think about ......you should replace ur old timing belt about every 40,000-60,000 miles, check all ur other belts (ac to alternator, power steering) make sure there not begining to show wear, chagne out air filter, transmission filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, and ur rotor and u should be set.

You should change your oil filter at least once every 30,000 miles. I change mine every other oil change.

you should change your oil filter EVERY oil change

why would you put clean oil through a dirty oil filter, just to get your brand new clean oil all dirty?

Whoops, I was thinking about oil changes and I said oil filter. Here is what I meant to say.

EDIT: You should change your AIR filter at least once every 30,000 miles. I change mine every other oil change.
