90,000 miles - What do I need?

I got my 06 6MT TL with 35k miles. It is approaching 90k. I am keeping this car longer now and I commute 100 miles a day. What service do you guys recommend?

I am aware of timing belt at 105k.
The cabin filter and air filter are good.
Just got a new battery.
New tranny fluid at 66k.

I was thinking coolent flush. Any other flushes I should do? How often should I replace tranny fluid? Thanks.

No to the coolant flush- wait til the 105K service as you're going to be replacing the coolant at that point anyway. Nothing to do at this time until you hit the 105K mark (or until the MID tells you it's time). Start saving for that service.

Brake and PS fluid if not done might not be a bad idea.

Trans fluid should be done every 30k miles IMO (for the 6MT). If you haven't done a power steering and brake fluid flush in your tenure, you need to do that now. Stop reading and go do it now!

If it's my vehicle: I'd flush power steering and brake fluid (common theme). Swap out the clutch (aka brake) fluid in the reservoir with a narrow turkey baster. (I used my printer inkjet syringe and it worked fine.) Start looking for a good deal on the 105k service (must at least include TB, water pump and tensioner) and take it, since you'll hit 105k in like 7 months or so. Do the spark plugs, coolant, and serp belt as a DIY and save yourself some good money (unless it's included in the 105k deal of course). I'd also swap out upper and lower radiator hoses. I did all the above as DIY and it wasn't that bad. Take your time, follow the directions on Azine, and you'll be fine...
