Just wondering what you all have done, or think should be done at 40k. I just bought an 07 with 40k on it a few months back. I dont know that anything other than the recommended service needs to be done, but I would like some opinions. I was thinking...

Tires (these are needed)

Transmission Oil change, (it is a manual. Sometimes I cant get it into first at a stand still. It is a bit noisy as well.) What is the best type of transmission oil?

Engine Oil change. Obviously. Any recommendations on type of oil or oil filter?

Spark Plugs. I know this is a can of worms, but wondering if I should try and take the OEM POS plugs out and replace with single unit construction plugs. Is it better to just keep them in the whole 100,000 miles? I may just replace the heads at that point.

What else should I be thinking about? This thing is out of warrentee and I sort of want to get in there and make sure all is well.

maybe change the fuel filter out? not sure how often the cabin filters need to be changed.
