Check compression to determine whether engine needs a rebuild

Full Tune Up.

Replace belts, spark plugs, filters, hoses etc.

If bald, get new tires.

Oil Change

If you still have money left over after this, save it for as soon as the next thing breaks. In the mean time save for fuel mods so you can open up the exhaust and intake.

Good luck and welcome!
