Here is what I would do for the 60K service.
Oil and oil filter
Air filter
Fuel filter
Spark plugs
Cooling system flush
Manual trans fluid change (do a little research on this, there are several good options)
Brake fluid flush, including clutch hydraulic fluid
Cabin filter?
Decarbon engine, clean throttle body, add injector cleaner to fuel tank
Check condition of power steering fluid and possibly change fluid
Test battery and clean battery terminals

If it still has the original water pump, it would be a good idea to change it now before the impeller comes apart.




Are there FAQ's on how to change all the parts (fuel filter, PCV, etc)? I had all that on my list plus adding .5 quart extra oil, revised oil pan, DMD, serpentine belt, water pump belt (is this seperate?). I suppose from reading some [posts that I should be cleaning the intakes as well. Geez, Im going to spend half what I paid for the car just in maintenance items (OK, not really)!

Anyone have a time aproximation per job? Best place to get parts (cheapest)?

A few dumb questions, how do you change PS fluid, just pop off a line to drain it? Same for the hydralic clutch resovoir? How to "decarbon" the engine? Clean the throttle body, just spray it down with cleaner while still on the car?

Man with all the quirks and maintenance these cars require, I think my next one will be a Porsche or Ferrari, since their about on par maintenance wise!
