Default Any replacements at 60k? GT mustang

I got an 07 GT manual, that is about to hit 60k. Any recommendations for replacements/checkups?


At 50k I replaced the fuel filter and air cabin filter.

You should be replacing the fuel filter every 15K as per the manual.

I'd change the tranny oil. Check your belts and pads

The Scheduled Maintenance Guide for my '07 says to replace the fuel filter every 30k miles.

Engine air filter replacement is every 30k miles, and cabin air filter is every 15k miles.

Fuel filter
Clean air intake filter and recharge
Flush and refill radiator coolant
New cabin air filter
New serpentine belt
Wipe throttle body plates. Clean it up a little on the inside of the blade
Engine oil
Transmission fluid

Brake fluid flush, Power Steering fluid flush, tranny flush, check/replace the plugs (Yes they say 100K for those but I can almost guarantee you will be breaking them if you wait that long. Differential Fluid.

Check your pads all the way around.

Fluid will not be any good after 100k. It's ridiculous that the manuals wait that long

Thanks for the all the tips guys!

So here's what I got:

- oil change
- trans fluid change
- brake fluid flush
- power steering flush
- radiator flush
- check belts
- check plugs
- check brake pads
- wipe throttle body plates

That sound about right?
