What maintenance to perform around 60,000 miles?

I have an 05' TL with 56,000 miles. I did a brake flush at 3 years. I put new tires on it around 50,000 miles and I'm replacing the brake pads this weekend. Other than that all I've done for 4 years is oil changes and tire rotations. What services would you all recommend now or in the near future?

Air filter, cabin filter, transmission fluid replacement, etc?

Recommendations and comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, if you haven't changed the air or cabin filter, it's about time and way overdue.
Although not mandatory at 60K, but a simple drain and refill with Z1 certainly won't do any harm.

It's a start.

Yeah.. ATF.. now! lol.. You may also want to consider a tuneup.. new plugs & PCV valve adjustment although I'm sure you're okay.

I had front brake pades installed yesterday. I had 56,000 miles on the original brakes and the mechanic said I still have some pad life left. He said I have another 15,000 - 20,000 miles left until I need to replace the rear pads. Honest garage that specializes in Japanese cars. It's so nice to not have to deal with the local acura dealer near my house that tries to get you for $500 - $1,000 every time you're in for an oil change. I asked the mechanic if he recommends any services in the near future or at this current time and he said no, to just keep changing my oil.
Around 100,000 miles is when he recommends changing the transmission fluid and doing a tuneup. You gotta love owning an acura.

The service interval for the timing belt & water pump is 105k miles on the TL unless you live & drive in severe weather or you drive the TL hard. Then the interval is 60k miles.

All this info is in the owner's manual. ->OWNER'S MANUAL<-
