Question Recommended Services for 60K

Hi,
I'm thinking of the following services below for 60K Service. Which one is not needed and can be put off later ? Seems a lot. Please advise.
  1. Replace Brake Fluid
  2. Replace Spark Plugs
  3. Transmission Fluid
  4. Serpentine Belt
  5. Coolant Fluid
  6. Power Steering Fluid
  7. Differential Fluid

I would definitely start with transmission fluid then I would do spark plugs because even if service manual says 60k you can always go a little bit longer unless you’re having issues, then I’d do brake fluid. Serpentine belt can wait if you inspect it and it looks good with no cracks or other damage. Coolant and power steering fluid you can wait a little bit I would do that whenever you have a chance and lastly the diff fluid. Just stagger when you do all of that so you don’t have to do it all at once.

From the service manual or your opinion (if the manual doesn't mention an interval i.e. "lifetime" tranny fluid ), can you tag each item with the recommended service interval/mileage to change. The user manual has none of this info.

Tranny fluid is subjective. Most people do between 50k and 70k miles because there’s no such thing as “lifetime tranny fluid”.

The rest of the stuff should be in the service manual at certain mileage (or km) intervals.
