Default Multiple basic questions......any answers will be great

Hello guys. This is Laura again. I have few questions that I would appreciate if any of you can answer any.

I have a 2001 S55 AMG with no major issues. It has 65K miles, one owner. I purchased it two months ago.

Is there a book that will give you locations of things like: cabin filter, thermostat,...etc. I know somethings are obvious but some are not, especially for awoman. My broher can work on cars but I need to know where some things are.

At this mileage will it hurt to change the thermostat and the cabin filter and plugs?

How do I know when for example plugs need to be changed, filters, and so on. I have the book tat came with the car but no service intervals are indicated.

I have this little vibration whenever I take off until I reach about 45mph. The steering isn't shaking or anything, and the tires have about 40%, not sure if that can cause it or whether this is how the car is. It feels as if the whole car is vibrating, a little, making it a bit uncomfortable.

Any ideas?

cabin filter is behind the glove box...must remove the glove box 6 phillips screws and a hard yank.

vibration could be motor mounts, tire balance, bad tire, transmission mount, tune up.

they are hidden behind a door. slide up the white tab and then the door will open which will reveal the filters
