70k maintenance

[Tedpro]

Hey guys, I'm getting close hitting 70k on my car, and I'm looking for maintenance that needs to be done.

So far I've got -
Timing belt
spark plugs

On a Subaru, I think the timing belt can be changed at 105k if I remember right. Spark plugs I think are at 60k. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

What year/model car is it?

[wise-ass remark]Presuming you did what was supposed to be done at 60,000 already, then the 70,000 is just an oil/filter change and give everything a quick once over.[/wise-ass remark]

If you have not done the 60,000 service, then...

Replace Engine Oil & Filter
Replace Coolant and inspect cooling system
Replace Air Cleaner
Replace Fuel Filter & inspect fuel system
Replace Spark Plugs
Replace Brake Fluid
Inspect everything else (brakes, handbrake, steering, clutch operation, suspension, etc).

The manual calls for "inspecting" the tranny and diff fluids - I tend to just go ahead and replace them at this point and then I know they are good.

Timing belt is good for 105,000 miles. No need to go there unless you have to replace something else on the front of the engine (oil seals or a water pump for instance).
