Spark plugs, cabin filter, brake fluid, oil filter, i think that should be it.

I just bought the 60k Mile service kit from sewell, and a local shop is doing it all for 80-100$

boy what a savings!

I ordered the 60k service kit from Sewell and did the spark plugs, air filter and cabin filter myself. I had very limited tools and it was still a piece of cake. Will have LMS do the brake flush and oil change since it's the dirty work and I have very limited tools.
