I have traded in cars with 400K kms (250K mikes) with the original fluids and plugs in it and never had an issue with the cars.
Do 'em, it's worth it imo. You don't realize it's degraded until you swap to fresh parts/fluids. Well, maybe you won't feel the diff, but it's nice to get all the metal particles floating around out of there. And maybe I'm feeling the new coil packs but I'm fucking satisfied.

~signed someone who spent 4 hours changing his plugs without lifting the engine on Tuesday and is on his third set of tranny/dif fluids at 60k miles.
