Pretty much what the title says, what things should be serviced at 60k miles?

Brake fluid, air filter, and cabin air filter.

Rear diff fluid, coolant, brake fluid, Air filter, cabin filter, TB and MAF clean with the correct products and that should do ya! It's not so much the miles, but the age on some of these. If you drive a lot of city miles, a trans flush is always a smart thing to do.

Air and cabin are done. I was wondering more about the fluids. Rear diff, coolant and trans was my thinking.

Owners Manuel for my 08 states the trans fluid should be changed after 5 yrs or 50k miles.

+1 on diff, coolant and brake

also add

power steering (its Dex VI atf also but it needs refreshing)

brake fluid - complete swap out - not a top off - if you want wait until you need pads - you probably also need pads though. I replaced a set at 74K but my car had a lot of highway miles.

on these cars nothing wrong with doing a transflush - as it was designed for it.

I also did one at 60K - then pulled the pan at 110K.

I'm about to pull the pan to install the camaro pan and filter mod at just under 50k

Probably will do these myself if I have time but for the SnG's of it I called a local dealer. Trans flush $165 and rear diff $159.....are those way out of line? I really have no idea.

for the trans no, that's about what I paid 3 years ago.

but the diff is rather easy to diy if you have a jack and stand and some time. you will however need either a suction pump or a long tube and a funnel.

I'm about to do the same thing, but lack of tools and time sends me off to a great local shop for a trans flush & oil change. I think I'll add rear diff to the list too. I think I'll wait on the brakes until next service, and do the fluid then, maybe throw on some Hawk HPS pads too. Had those on my Vic and they were great.
