I'm doing the oil change tomorrow and had the tires rotated last week, brakes were 70% or better, air filter pretty clean, MAF cleaned. What else should I take care of for the 60,000 mile mark on my 2005?
thanks

 

inspect/lube steering linkages, driveline, etc. its usually advised to inspect belts+hoses, exhaust, and anything else that would be prone to having problems. i could look it up, but i really need to get to work

 

Has your 2005 ever had its brake fluid & antifreeze changed?

Antilock brake systems can be very expensive to repair & replacing brake fluid might be the single most ignored maintenance item. Fresh brake fluid can extend the service life of brake hydraulics.

Antifreeze capability of coolant is easy & isn't greatly diminished w/age. However the anticorrosion properties of antifreeze are consumed doing their job. A large number of aluminum components can get corroded/eroded by spent antifreeze. Heater cores & head gaskets are particularly at risk from old antifreeze.

 

club wagon is right. but most OEMs suggest changing the coolant at 100k, then every 60 after that, but it sure can't hurt to do it sooner.
as a general rule, people view the 60k maintenance as such a big deal because they've neglected all the little maintenance things leading up to that point. the typical maintenance schedule for it is 3/4 inspection and 1/4 replacing parts. if you've kept up on things, its not too much to worry about

 

Had it on the lift today, changed the oil, inspected and greased what needed it and the rest of it looked great, the brake fluid was still clear(ish) I'll hold off on that for two more weeks, I'm heading down to Fort Lauderdale Monday for work...

thanks!
