The 25k Tune Up Checklist

Okay, going to be doing my 25k tuneup on my 2000 GT in the next week or so. Just want to get everyones input on exactly what I should be targeting. The only two things I was told so far is to change my IAC and get all new spark plugs despite the fact I have platinums. What brand would you suggest for sparks?

So reply with your $.02 on what you would change and I'll add it to the thread. Thanks in advance to all who donate their knowledge.

25k Tune Up Checklist:
- Replace IAC
- Replace Spark Plugs
- Change Oil
- Change Tranny Fluid (good to know, but I just got mine done about 5k ago.)
- Coolant Flush
- Replace Fuel Filter
- Clean K&N Air Filter

I'll add those to my list. But I already mentioned plugs (spark) unless you were refering to different plugs.

Any my IAC is acting up. Horrible Idles and I stalled approaching a stop sign in N the other day.

I prefer to refer to it as "Extreme Preventive Care"
