    You're terrible!

    Seriously, anybody who is curious about "tuneup" on a modern car there really is no such thing. Spark plugs maybe every 100,000-160,000km. No ignition timing to adjust, no carb to adjust, etc. Also no fuel filter to change either.

    Ever since the car makers went to a "returnless" fuel system several years ago, the volume of fuel to the rail was drastically reduced. This is for evaporative emissions control. There is a filter in the tank, but it's generally considered non-servicible.
