One thing that was done to mine that is not listed above is to drop the oil pan and clean the sludge from the uptake tubing.

Any amount is bad..the oil pick up tube and screen is what shoud be cleaned.
Its not a lot of work really. Just more bolts.

If you have ever changed oil and spark plugs on any car, you can do the 60K yourself in an afternoon.

Also I suppose if you are going to do the belt and the Coolent, You might as well put a new water pump in and low temp thermo.
It would be a shame to be driving with 70K on the clock and the plastic waterpump blow out. Then you need to add 150$ to the repair for the fluids anyway. (not to mention the wasted fluid you just put in).
