Default Maintenance Schedule

I have a Lexus ES300 and I read the manual as well as a few dealers service manuals and I boiled down what I thought were the simple minimum maintenance requirements that I should follow. I nixed a lot of the dealer "fluff" and also added a few services of my own. Does anyone have any additions/deletions/changes/comments? See below. Thanks.


MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE


Every 3,750 Miles:
Oil and Oil Filter Change


Every 30,000 Miles:
Radiator Coolant Flush/Change
Air Filter Change
BG MOA Oil Additive
BG 44K Fuel Induction Additive


Every 60,000 Miles:
Transmission Fluid Flush/Change
Spark Plugs Change/Tune-Up
Brake Fluid Flush/Change
Power Steering Fluid Flush/Change
Battery Check/Change


Every 90,000 Miles:
Timing Belt Change


Every 1 Year:
Exterior Wax/Detail
Interior Leather/Wood Cleaning and Conditioning/Detail and Carpet Shampoo
Wiper Blade Inserts Change
