I dont take my car to the dealer for the schedule maintenance intervals. I have a good local mechanic who does the work. But im only doing the certain big maintenance items when due such as spark plugs, oil/cabin filter, replace brake fluid, battery, and oil changes. I know in the manual there's inspect this, lube that, etc. My car is a 2007 with 75k so I should be doing more then what I have? I like to keep on top of the car and take care of it. Plus as I get up in higher millage I dont want it to break down on me.
I would replace the coolant and check the water pump for any signs of leakage, also replace the serpentine belt soon and I usually like to replace the rear diff. oil.
