Newbie with some questions

I drive a 2007 Corolla S model (automatic transmission)

I've got 110K on it and have been doing a good job keeping up the maitenence on it.

Found this forum and I wanted to get some insight on recommendations to make this car last me another couple of years?

Thank you so much!

Follow the maintanance guide in the owner's manual or available online. Don't follow dealer's recommendations to increase Dealer profit. Use local trusted mechanics, or do the work yourself. You will find lots of useful DIY advice on this forum

one thing that sometimes goes neglected - have you been changing the transmission fluid?

Its time for new spark plugs if you are still on the originals.

ya, it doesnt help that it says on the didpstick, that under normal driving, that you don't have to change the transmission fluid

That might technically be "true" except almost nobody operates their cars according to "normal" driving conditions...
