What would you change on a truck that is getting an oil change?

My 94 toyota is getting an oil change today and i needto kno what else is recommended i change? Currently im changing out the oil, oil filter, and the air filter? is there anything else i should replace? if so let me know please|||Ok I would change spark plugs and wires and fuel filter. Also give the brake pads an inspection to make sure they have enough pad material.|||Change your fuel filter after 80,000 miles or if you've recently run the fuel tank dry. Change your engine coolant every 2 years. Change your transmission fluid every 50,000 miles. Those are my recommendations but your car's owner's manual tells you exactly what maintenance (not repairs) is needed and when. If you have an "interference" type engine, have your timing belt replaced as specified in your owner's manual or risk expensive engine damage if the belt breaks. Air filters usually last 20K to 25K miles under normal conditions, but I'd change it at 20K. Hold the air filter up to bright sunlight looking directly into the sun and you should see some light coming through (compare to a brand new filter using same test). Watch out for the "quickie lube" chain centers. They make their money pushing all kinds of stuff you may not need. It's your job to keep a record of all your maintenance and simply do what your owner's manual says to do at a minimum.|||just the oil and oil filter , look at the air filter , if it looks dirty replace it . it it dont look dirty dont replace it|||you don't have to change the air filter unless it's dirty. Check the plugs, and plug wires. if you don't like the way they look, change them. Check the brake pads too, the front at the very least (they get worn quickest). Check tubes for any noticeable leaks and connections. Check all fluids as well to make sure they're adequate, including coolant (when engine is cool), power steering, brake fluid, and clutch if it's manual and doesn't draw from brake reservoir. Check the tires too, make sure they have life left, do the penny check. Tread trench should come up to Lincoln's head and no less than that.|||Oil and oil filter is fine. I like to put lucas fuel injector cleaner in each oil change. Check tire pressure and be done with it.
