60,000 mile service?

I'm doing the oil change today 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

I think my 2010 calls for new tranny fluid at 60k.

I agree trans service wouldn't be a bad idea. Maybe change the fuel filter if you havn't done so in some time.

Good call on the fuel filter, I forgot about that one.

I would check out the serpentine belt while you are at it, it may be starting to dry out.

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...
Also will do the fuel filter when I get back.
thanks!

Definatley a good idea. Make sure to check the tensioner and idler pulley bearings also. I usually remove the shields and regrease mine every couple years but you can't do that on all bearings.

A recent thread about cost of service for a tranny flush/refill mentioned the later years require a heated flush machine------if your year is one of those affected make sure that's available to you.

I still like my external tranny filter from Summit Racing @ $40, it's a good deal and can't hurt but should help with cooling some more plus extra filtering of crud.
