I want to change all my fluids (except for the oil) i have 100,163k on the dash what other fluids do i need changed and what are good fluids to use for it.  

Answer
Hi Myra -

I would go with the ceramic pads.

If your car is running fine, I would just replace the spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, for the tune up. At the oil change did you replace the air filter? If not, might want to check that.

At 100K miles, you should have the radiator flushed and replace with 50/50 coolant water mix, and also check the hoses, replace thermostat. Transmission oil replacement would be wise also.
The drive belts should be replaced if you have not done that recently.

Hope this helps -
aloha
