A one liter bottle of DOT 4 is more than enough to do a 4 point bleed while replacing rear calipers. So with a normal bleed with no entrained air to remove, one liter will defiantely be overkill. Remove and renew the fluid at the reservoir first, as this is the most contaminated. You don't want to run that through the system. If your brake pads are worn a bit, get on 4 stands and push all of the pistons in as part of the emptying of the reservoir. Do this as bleeding does not effectly flush any fluid in the piston cavities. Search for 'bleed' and read first.
Before changing plugs, blow or vac dust and sand from around the spark plug bases first.
The caps, rotors and wires often have problems from dirt and salt deposts, nothing else. These can be washed in soap and water and can last the life of the vehicle. Mechanics don't do wash anything, they just charge you for new. The only limitation is if wires get so stiff that they crack. Search for posts by myself on this subject. search work bake should do nicely. Clean the coil face insulator.
Clean your injectors and combustion chambers with Techron Concentrate. I use this 3x's /year at 20-25000 miles per year. Correct battery electrolye levels 3x's per year.
Get a K&N 33-2663 air filter element. If you keep the vehicle, this will save you money in the long run and provide better torque at high rpm's.
If with good plugs ,clean wires, clean injectors... you experence hard starting, cleaning the throttle body might help.
Suggest use of Mobil One 10w30.
