Default 60k mile service on my 09 5.4L FX4

I guess what im looking for out of this post is what you all think needs to be done at 60k?

I called the dealership today and my service guy reccomended changing all the fluids...front rear dif, trans, brake, coolant. But after reading the service manual it looks like I really just need to do oil, and trans at 60k.

Any ways...let me know you opinions please

Thanks

I'd definitely do coolant if it hasn't been done before. Transmission too. At least those two, but won't hurt to do brake fluid.

Read the manual. Doesnt call for tranny until 150, coolant till 100.... It's all in there.

I bought mine used, so I'm slowly having all the fluids replaced. All that's left now are Power Steering, Brake Bleed, Transfer Case, and Fuel Injector Service.

Yes, that may be overkill and unnecessary, but I'll sleep better knowing it's in the best condition possible.

I just performed the same service on my 2010 FX4 based on my dealership service advisor's recommendation: motor oil change, transmission flush, air filter, tire rotation an fluid top off. Coolant, brake fluid, power steering and others are scheduled much later (100k).
I've owned her since the beginning and has treated me well so far by keeping up with all the recommended services.

Good luck.

if you drive under "severe service" which 98% of us do, then the trans should be done at 60k along with the fuel filter. If it is 4x4 then the transfer case fluid should also be changed.
