not much left. I think at 60K you want to do some other things like sparks/wires

Don't forget the timing belt at 60k miles....

Why does my old sentra have a timing chain, and Acura uses belts?

Nick79, When your due for your next oil change, change the trans fluid also. I would also clean or replace your aftermarket air filter at this time. I balanced the front tires on sat, and your best tires are on the front. That pretty much covers everything. You might want to pick up some wiper inserts also.
CLC, the T-belt is good for 105k
Toyota/lexus recommends t-belt at 60k
subaru is at 105
Nissan uses chains
Honda is starting to move over to chains, It will be a few yrs before they all have them. This was in the works in 1999....

clc,

There is a constant debate over the use of a timing belt vs. a timing chain.

The engine runs MUCH quieter with a rubber timing belt, but has to be replaced (typically at 60k miles) at least our TLS says you can go over 100K

The timing chain will last the life of the engine but creates an obvious raspy sound. Just compare the Nissan engines to Toyota or Acura.

I like our quieter engines but I do find the timing belt change a real pain in the a$$! Plus, if you neglect to have it changed, you get real paranoid when taking road trips on an old belt... but then again, I'm paranoid about the tranny on long road runs as it is...
