MSP 60k mile service

timing belt should be inspected at 60k but probably wont need to be replaced till around 100k miles.
might be easiest to call the serv dept to see what this service entails...my guess is that 90% of it is stuff you could do yourself...

It's been awhile .. but I don't recall ever taking my MSP in for ANY of those 'blahblah-miles service' things. Like evil said -- chances are that you can do it on your own and save yourself the money.might be easiest to call the serv dept to see what this service entails...my guess is that 90% of it is stuff you could do yourself...
Then again, I'm pretty psychotic about checking my car over about once a week, so I always know what my car needs and then I take care of it. But if you aren't really on top of your maintenance .. Eh, your call.

I wouldn't bother with their help. There is nothing that you cannot do yourself at the 60K mark. Change your plugs, coolant, pcv, air filter etc. Good idea to check and tighten your valve cover bolts, exhaust manifold bolts and all other connection clamps also. Rotate your tires and check the brake pads for wear. You could also check the t-belt but its most likely okay with only 60K.
No cels or driveability issues, then don't worry. Just do the basics as needed. I'm at 71K and my car has only seen the dealer for the flash and bushings back in 03.

Your welcome. Wal-mart has the best price. So far my t-stat is hanging in there or change it also. No cooling issues yet.

lol aparently a jug of that stuff weighs 60lbs according to Autozones website hahahahahaha
What about warranty? Even though you can do all this yourself, the fact is that you need to prove that the recommendend maintenance was performed. I have no idea if taking pictures of what you do can serve as proof. But if your car catastrophically fails (it adds to the drama, doesn't it?) and you can't prove that you did what was recommended, you might be in for a nice discussion with your dealership. For what I see, your have so many mods on your car that maintenance would be the last of their arguments......pretty neat site for scheduled maintenance https://www.edmunds.com/maintenance...nsmission=MANUAL&zip=12345&synpartner=edmunds
lol... i wasn't going to take my car into the stealership... i never would .. i hate that place. I was wanting to know so that i could perform it all myself. Was just curious what they replaced around the 60k mile mark.. but i guess i should have said, what would you guys replace or check around 60k miles.

My dealership told me the 60k service was timing belt, valve cover gasket, plugs, air filter, oil change, and brake servicing. Nothing I hadn't been on top of myself.
