TX 60k Tune up?

Is there a confirmed list of stuff that should be done every 60,000 miles to ensure you engine lives as long as possible? People tell me to do this and do that but there is no official 60K Tune up list on the forum? If there is could someone redirect me to it cause I can't seem to find it and it isn't under the FAQ's I think this would help a lot of new 7 owners on there way to a good start. Send me stuff that should be done every 60,000 miles and I will make a list and update until everything is covered. If there isn't a 60k tune up list then we should make one.


Thanks for your time.

Dude, it's in the first 10 pages of the Haynes manual. If you don't have one then that would be first on my list.

From the owners manual:
  1. drive belts (except the air pump) (I)
  2. engine oil and filter (R)
  3. air filter (R)
  4. spark plugs (R)

Sry I found this site outside of the FAQ's after I made this post. I did read the FAQ's I must have missed the site by mistake. My apologies I can't help that I am human and make mistakes. Thank you for posting this.
