Maintenance at 60k

[niteflite]

3.8L 2012 model is going to hit 60k in a couple of months. I have not had any major maintenance done so far - just oil changes, tire rotations, air filter, cabin air filter. Is there anything I need to be doing at 60k other than these? - transmission fluid? brake fluid? coolant? steering fluid?

I'm reading online that the transmission fluid change can be costly and is a lot to DIY.

I'd say it's time to change the brake fluid and coolant.

If you are going to keep to car for another 60k then do all of the items you list.

Check maintenance schedule that came with the car. If you don't have it, I can reply with what is necessary at 60k. Don't do the dealer recommended service, they try and add unnecessary items.

PDF versions of the Owner Manuals can be downloaded from www.myhyundai.com
Free registration is required. At that site, you can also document the maintenance performed on your car, which is highly recommended if not all maintenance is done at a Hyundai dealer.

Change.
Air cleaner filter???
Climate control air filter??
and then, lots of inspection.

PS At 80,000 miles, replace rear differential oil.

how does one decide if the car is driven under severe or normal conditions?

i live in the mid-atlantic. summers get warm and humid. winters can get cold..a high of below freezing up to 10 days a year or so. my typical drive into work is 18 miles in 50/50 highway city traffic...except on the highway half of it is stop and go rush hour traffic.

Brake lining??

You can pull the wheels and inspect the brake linings, but many people say they get 100,000 miles on the pads.

You can inspect the pads/lining with a good LED pen-light, and those "many people" who might claim 100,000 miles on a set of pads obviously haven't done what I just stated -- they wouldn't know how.

I got 130k miles on the front pads. 160k on rear.

I thought that only drum brakes have linings. Disk brakes have pads and rotors.

These heavy cars do surprisingly well on brake wear. When I pulled the Mando calipers off and swapped to Brembos at 41k, the pads still had tons of life left and they were still the original Hyundai pads.

Even with the Brembos, switched from my PFC set to EBC Bluestuff at 58k, I was shocked at how much pad was still left. Especially since coming from a Genesis Coupe that ate them up every 15-20k.
