My 03 Fx35 is close to 120k and I've never really gone all out with her maintenance. I'd like to know what all I'd need to do. The car is currently back in Chicago with my wife while I'm deployed. And I'd just like to know what the car would need to get a proper "tune up" so that she's ready to go once I get back state side

Bellow are with assumption that none has been changed since 03. Sure hope oil change on a regular basis :smile (2):
-Trans fluid change
-Transfer case and differentials fluid change
-Brake fluid
-Coolant
-Spark plugs (may need valve covers if find oil in the spark plug well)
-Belts
-Air filter
-Cabin filter
-Front struts and rear shocks
 
Thanks :) I feel like the trans fluid change and can be an issue though. Id really hate to start getting transmission issues

Is it possible to remove 1 quart and a new quart.. every 10K for 60K so that the shock of the new fluid isn't that bad?

Possible? Yes. But very time consuming and hard to get exactly 1 qt.

The pan holds about 3.5 QTS. Just do a drain and fill every oil change for the next 3 if u wanna get close to 80% new fluid.
