I would recommend the trans, diff, ac filter and air filter every 15k.

Spark plugs, depends on what model. Newer models have plugs that go to 120k now.

Of course this is just my personal opinion.

Power Steering Fluid Flush/Change
Brake Fluid Flush/Change
Fuel Filter Change
Battery Check/Change

With the 60K, I had to get the fuel filter changed. Pemex gas is awful, even at 93 octane. For PS fluid and Brake fluid, I would recommend going synthetic. Steering is improved as is brake responsivity. I use Valvoline. My brakes have lasted much longer in Mexico City(hills & speed bumps).

What you have above is all I asked for, except for the fluids, which I did myself. I might consider the ATF fluid change, depending on where you live, but for suburban driving no problem with ignoring it.
