Default 100,000 mile maintenance
2009 malibu 2.4
Should I replace the spark plugs and transmission fluid and filter or leave good alone?

I did mine just to eliminate any possible failure in the near future. I also replaced the serpentine belt, fuel filter etc.

Are the plugs and serpentine belt a good DIY project?
