General tune up

Well my 04 Corolla has 210K on the odometer and I thought i could use a little attention. Yep 210K and still purrs like a kitten. I was talking to a friend of mine and he was shocked that the timing belt has never been changed. Actually most of the equip is stock except the spark plugs. I changed those at 100k with a tranny flush.

I suppose plugs are due again but anything else on the menu would you suggest?

Cheers to a car company that can go the distance

Wow! 210K, that's awesome! I would perform another drain and refill for the trans fluid. I would also perform a coolant flush and replace the pcv valve(I recommend using an oem part for the pcv valve).

PS: Also, you have a timing CHAIN! Much more durable than a belt. I hope I'm still bragging about mine at 210K!

What George said. Normally it should last as long as the engine.
