tune up question *no manual*

Aight guys. got the 240.

got the tie rods and all new brakes done by the dealer cause they were shot. now.. no manual. this baby has 166k miles on it. I got no vehicle history on this thing so I'm thinking about just doing a full tune up.

timing chain, cap, plugs, wires, sparks, oil change.. suggest anything else?

what kinda oil you higher mileage guys running? I'm thinking I'm gonna use that max life stuff.. just wondering which is the best. anyone do any oil analysis with their car?

I'm officially a s13 owner now.

Fuel filter, air filter(if needed), new brake fluid...maybe even PS fluid. replace Gear oil for the tranny, maybe even the Diff.

for my 240's i use 20w-50 motor oil. the valvoline(sp?) higher mileage and some lucas heavy duty oil stabalizer. and for the diff my haynes manual said 80w-90 and i would use the lucas diff oil.
