Maintenance Approaching 60k miles

NickP2 · 06-25-2012, 08:58 PM

I plan on performing the maintenance below - any suggestions on something I may have missed? Brake fluid was recently done...

I also have a leaking trans, not sure if its from the pan gasket or the mechanatronics plug so I'll be changing both.

coolant flush
oil / filter
microfilter
air filter
6 spark plugs
transfer case fluid flush
front and rear differential fluid flush
auto trans pan, fluid and mechatronics plug

I would maybe just check the serpentine belt for wear/cracks and replace if necessary. I just crossed 60k as well a few weeks ago and haven't done anything yet.... I need to get on that. My trans is leaking too... pretty sure its from the plug. Do you know if there's a DIY for the plug? I haven't seen one.

brake pads and rotors?

I know with my E46, i always had to check the control arm bushings and swaybar endlinks around 60k intervals too, is that something to check as well?

I'm still trying to find what oil to use for the tranny and the differentials with no luck. some say oem, some say redline, royal purple, etc etc. i'm confused.
