I'm mostly doing highway driving - about 40 miles round trip from home to work. Nothing upgraded in the car (besides adding an arm rest) and I have only done tire rotations and oil changes up until now. I'm not the kind of person who will do any maintenance myself (I'm sure you are judging me and that's fine).

Here are the suggestions from the Scion manual:

- engine coolant
- brake fluid
- auto transmission fluid
- air & cabin air filters (I have a reusable K&N filters so I'll rinse them)
- oil change (I'm over on mileage so I need to get it done)
- tire rotation (I can do this for free @ discount tire)
- spark plugs (really? already?)

Since I will need to piece together my own 60k package, want to make sure I didn't miss anything.

The only interesting thing that the dealership's suggested 60k had was this:

- lubricate chassis & boots

Thoughts?
I would have the brake service, oil change, tranny fluid change (if MT I would skip that) and coolent check done.
I would clean or change the filters myself (as you said) and get the free rotation.
With the nature of your driving I would hold off on the plugs for a bit. I am at 100K on mine with zero signs of any issue.


I am not judging anybody for not doing their own maintenance (although the last time somebody judged me for not doing it I ended up temp banned for a day so I hope nobody starts in on you for it)
