60,000 miles

I've reached 60,000 miles on my SS

So, my car runs completely fine, nothing is wrong with it as there shouldn't be but I wanna know if there are suggestions for upkeep that I should do.

I just did plugs cause I figured they needed changed and there were some deposits on the plugs. I will do the transmission fluid next.

I never got the Powell separator after doing mine. I have no problem doing every 60k if need be.

Much to my surprise when I went to do them at 60k they really were not that bad

Its also driving habit dependent. I'm going to assume you spend a lot of time on the highway?

You dont really need the intake valves cleaned on an lsj. It has this thing called port injection
