I have a 96 GT. So far I've changed the oil, oil filter, spark plugs, and the fuel filter. What else should I check or change?

Thanks guys

If you don't have Coil Over Plug ignition...change the wires? Clean the injectors?

Coolant, have your injectors cleaned, serpentine belt, trans fluid, and diff fluid.

O2 Sensors, oxygen sensors in the exhaust. They read how effectively your car is burning its air and fuel together

put some redline sythetic fluid in your tranny and differential, it will lower the temps and they will work more efficiently.

understand Ford 02 sensors are not cheap. for all 4 you're looking at between 350-400$ bucks, not sure on the exact price, changing your 02's is a waste, especially if you have not seen your gas mileage go down
