Default Tune ups.

So I've had my 08 for about half a year. With it almost being 10 years old should I get a tune up anytime soon?

What exactly would it consist of?

Spark plugs, maybe plug wires. But the plugs are supposed to be good for 100,000 miles so if you don't drive it much it probably doesn't need anything.

No need. The plugs are the only replacement item and they go to 100,000 miles. At that time you would also replace the plug wires. The ignition is electronic so no toher parts to replace. If something in the system goes bad you will get a check engine light (like a coil).

Good to hear, I may change them at 50,000 due to hard track use every now and then.
