My Alero hit 90000 miles today and I was wondering if there are any major or minor tune ups that should be done at this time? Does anything need to be replaced or checked?

Thanks

If you still have the stock plugs I'd start there, but you can wait until you hit 100,000.

I forget what else, I don't have my manual right now

things i would check/have done (in random order):

1) coolant flush
2) tranny service
3) fuel filter
4) spark plugs
5) clean throttle body

all of this depends on the last time you had it done, if ever.
