6yr Maint Items on R56 2007 MCS
Anyone have a pointer to this?
I have the dealer CBS list but it doesn't list items like the drive belt, etc.
I change oil 2x / yr or every 7500.
At 4 years had oil, filter, brake fluid, replace coolant, replaced air and cabin filter, injector service.
Car has had a walnut blast done 6mo ago at 30k miles, pretty bad carbon build up. Also have the latest tensioner and have had no rattle issues.
I know this for sure:
--Oil / Filter
--Brake fluid
ATF?
Cabin filter?
Spark plugs are listed at 60k, I'll be at about 40k, 6 years. Should I just replace them? I know on my porsche they are a 4 year item or 40k.
Air filter I think is a 4 year / 30k item.
Thanks

Yes for SURE change the auto transmission fluid!!!! There are a couple of threads here about it, cheap and easy to do. I recommend picking up the filler adapter that can fill the pan from underneath. Make sure you use JWS3309 fluid (Toyota T-IV is a great price).
And if you have a manual you can change that fluid as well.
Spark plugs in my 50k mile base model looked pretty worn when I changed them.
There really isn't much else to change.
Drive belt changes, you can base on visual inspection or change it.
Other engine maint items that will probably come up soon are the thermostat and waterpump if they have not been changed yet.

Reviving old thread with update: Did water pump (started to leak), radiator flush due to water pump replacement, oil, cabin filter, air filter, brake fluid, replaced battery. Brakes are fine, had them check a very minor rattle and confirmed sway bar bushings are making a little noise. They advised to replace them when the lower control arm bushings need replacing, but are OK for now. LCA bushings were OK. Drive belts were fine, they checked timing chain, its in spec.
I didn't get auto-tranny fluid/filter replaced or do plugs. Going to pull my plugs and inspect them first. Only have 35k on them, but are 6yrs old.
