What To Service

THE JEDI · 05-30-2012, 11:23 PM

I am about to hit 60,000 miles on my 2004...not bad..but she's not feeling right, I get this double burble when i take of in drive mode....and today she had a rough idle...I was thinking about getting her serviced or do it myself, but at 60,000 miles what should have done to her...I know oil chane...spark plugs..transmission and other ideas....I love my car..I really do.

The DISA valve should be checked by 60K as this seems to be their lifespan. And if none of the following has been done yet then I suggest you change the Plugs, transmission oil and differential oil.
If you have a good Indie I suggest getting the car on a hoist and checking bushings and suspension / steering components. Check the pads and rotors while you are at it.
That pretty much sums up what I had done recently at 60K.

Air filter and fuel filter. The oil filter will be done with the oil change.
