So since the maintenance subject came up...

The book says typical stuff:
Oil/Filter: 5K
Air filter: 30K (conservative)
Timing belt: 90K
Brake fluid: 2 years

What else is good to do?

I've heard of lots of timing belts going out at 60k miles. Had mine replaced at 50.

spark plugs every 20K miles or less; cabin air filter every 10K, ...

Tranny fluid once in a while.

And yeah, do the TB/tensioner/water pump at 60K.
