Timing chains are supposed to last 200,000km's. But you might as well change it with the other fluids if your car hasn't had its major service yet. If you want to go all out you'd most likely be changing timing chain, diff fluid, gearbox fluid, engine oil, oil filter, sump plug, replace spark plugs and re-fill other fluids like coolant and such.. Those are the main ones. DUDE YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A SMALL DIY ON YOUR STOCK WHEELS! I LOVE THAT PURPLE!

Wrong. Unlike timing belts that need to be changed, timing chains are intended to last the life of the vehicle. Don't touch the timing chain.

Other fluids should be changed, assuming they haven't been done recently. These include tranny, diff, brake & clutch fluids. If you're an aggressive driver you should change these fluids more often. IMO if you're real easy on your car, you can go longer on your brake & clutch fluid.
