Default When to change plugs, PCV Valve, and Fuel Filter on 2001 Buick Century

I have a 2001 Buick Century with about 40,000 miles on it now. I was
wondering When I should change the spark plugs on my car? I have always
done tune-ups on my cars (new cap, rotor, plugs and wires if needed) at
about 40,000 miles. My previous cars were Ford Taurus, and Dodge Spirit.

Also, I have always replaced the PCV Valve every 40,000 miles, and I have
not done that as of yet. When should I change the PCV valve?

Lastly, the fuel filter has not been touched yet. When should that be
replaced?

thanks

Plugs at 100,000 miles or 160,000kms
There is no inteval listed for the fuel filter or the PCV. Replace when
restriction is suspected.

We would be interested to know what the owners manual says for parts
interval.
If you have one.
