Depends on what u have done so far... if u have not flushed fluids yet I would do:

Tranny flush (or drain and fill)
Coolant flush
Differenial oil
Transfer case oil
In cabin micro filter
Engine filters
Inspect brake fluid and replace if dirty...
Inspect steering fluid and replace if dirty...(easy with a turkey baster and there's plenty of diys on it here)

You don't need to replace the spark plugs in our car at 60+ K. I plan to replace mine somewhere between 80 and 100K (if I keep the car that long).

Why are there 5 questions in your post, but 17 question marks? Each sentence only needs one

^ The question is, why do you have only one question mark for one question??? lol... seriously though, this is how most forums are, correctness is not of the essence, after all its not an English grammar forum.

That bothers me, frankly. I mean, you type "lol" as a shortcut, then go out of your way to add more characters at the end of a sentence? Hmm. In any case, I guess I wasn't aware that there were separate standards dependent on your target audience.

By the way, I would suggest heading to a phone and calling an Infiniti rep, and asking them. They'll give you an estimate for about a billion dollars, but if you have what they do, you can make sure you aren't missing anything important.

These cars have "platinum" plugs right? They last about 100kish.

drive (serpentine) belt requires replacement at 60k, so if you haven't done it add it to the list. although mine was in very good shape when i took it out a couple weeks ago. it was squeaking though.

Don't listen to ANYONE that tells you not to change your plugs before 70K. Our cars are notorious for valve cover leaks in the 5/6 bank. Valve cover gaskets are covered under your 70k mile powertrain warranty so it is a good idea to find out if they are leaking before that is up.

Yes, the car comes with NGK platinums which are SUPPOSED to last for 105k miles as Infiniti states in the service manual. But you're better safe than sorry changing them out now
