What type of servicing does a C5 need when it hits 60K miles? What prices can I expect to pay?

Oil change, air filter... I think that's about it.

As for myself, I have always performed an oil change every 3K. However, at 60K, I make the effort to change the oil filter, service air filter, change fuel filter, new tranny and diff fluid, drain and flush the radiator, change plugs, change plug wires, PCV valve, change air check valves, inspect and clean all electrical grounds, battery connectors, and, fuel injectors (if needed). Lastly, I also inspect and replace worn suspension parts (tie rod ends, seals, links, leaky shocks, etc.) Hope this helps.

At 60K I change the oil/filter, the fan belts, hoses, coolant, tranny fluid, diff fluid, spark plugs, plug wires, wipers, and check the fuel filter. Clean the throttle body, MAF and K&N air filter. I think thats about it, but thats just me.
