60K Maintenance ??
I just hit 60k miles on my 2001 Coupe. I've had the car for 2.5 years and have put 42k on it in that time. I don't track the car or drive it extremely hard.
At 50K - i had the transmission fluids, filters , etc replaced
Last week I had the transaxle fluids replaced
my mechanic says the coolant is fine
I change the oil as prescribed
I drive it 8 months a year and since I just hit 60k miles I was wondering what items I should maintain / replace. AS far as I know brakes, shocks , etc are all still originals.
TIA
Bob

If the coolant has never been changed, do that now even if the mechanic said it is OK. GM recommends a 5 year, 100K mile change, whichever comes first.
Also, if the car is a manual tranny, change the clutch fluid. Not sure what other fluids you changed, but the brake fluid could be done if it has not already been taken care of.
