Consult your owners manual. In most modern vehicles the notion of a "tune-up" is quite different than cars from even 10 years ago. Spark plugs, wires, transmissions can be expected to go 100,000 without routine maintenance. Oil changes, filters, and fluid levels are the keys to maintaining modern vehicles and the appropriate intervals are detailed in the owner's manual.

a tune up means spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, and if it is a very old car points. if your gas mileage goes down it could be time for a tune up. if you open the hood at night and your spark plugs wires have sparks coming off of them you should get them replaced
