Default Is250 Maintenance Schedule

I haven't posted here in a while but i always received great advice from the members here. I remember years ago, a couple of posters provided me with a must-need service at each interval for a 2009 is250. I am hitting 65K soon and also replacing the airbag from the dealer so i was hoping to get some service done while i was there for the recall.

What should i be doing every 5K, 10K, 15K, 30K, 60K, 100k?

Any help is much appreciated. I tried searching my old threads but wasn't able to find it!

The a couple of major things in 60K is brake fluids and spark plugs. Otherwise, it's just oil change.

What should i be looking at for the replacement of spark plugs?

So i just hit 60K a few months ago but i have had my car for almost 8 years? Is it more for miles or years owned?

I would just go by miles, but I know that there is maintenance interval base on miles and time which ever is greater type of thing. The recommended change interval for spark plug is 60K, but some people have gone on longer with changing it.

I haven't changed mine yet at 68K because I failed at it.

On top of plugs and brake fluid, there is also engine air filter and cabin filter to replace. For preventive maintenance I would also do rear differential and transmission. Differential is cheap so that I would do for sure every 60k or so.

Dealer 60k service is pretty expensive and doesn't even include differential or transmission
