what is needed to be changed once u hit the 60,000 mile mark?
would it be better if i went to a shop? if so any good affordable places? or is it cheaper doing it myself? thankss

 

[OT] Wow, i have never even had a car that hit 60k miles. My last one hit 32k after five years! [end OT]

 

I replaced all my fluids (Engine, Tranny, Rear Diff, Radiator, Brakes, etc.) around that time.

I also did my spark plugs (why not?) and checked all the various thingies that can wear out like CV Boots, Brakes, etc.

If anything do all the fluids...its a good chance to do them all if you're under the car and a good "milestone" mileage that you won't forget.

Read the owner's manual too.

 

This is from the 60k mile maintenance worksheet:

Engine oil, filter, spark plugs, check belt tensions, flush coolant, change air filter, fuel filter, trans oil, diff oil, check brake and steering fluid levels, check brake pads.

There are more fluff ones too like check windshield wipers and tires but I'll spare you

 

thanks guys...

 

I'll probably take my ride to the dealer to service that, just to be safe.

I'm fast approaching the 60K mark. I'm jealous of the townies... wish I can be a bum like someone (hint Julio).

 

what do you guys buy for diff and tranny fluid?
