Download the manual here:

Basically, oil every 5K (well, you can do 3K if you want), clean/replace air filter every 15K, spark plugs every 30K.

Some extra stuff at 30K

no big deal

u're @ 20K miles. I would suggest you to at least change your engine oil every 3K or so. cuz everytime u drain it thru the pan u're not relaly draining the whole oil system, maybe about 1/2 of it.

and if you have time and money, change the rear diff and tranny oil out as well.

lube the door locks and hings.

thats about it.

download the Manual from the link above.
