What exactly should i do since im about to hit 75,000 miles? should i switch over to new oil? belts? etc....
Ordered NGK iridum plugs
Ordered PRD wires
What else?
**JUST an idea---we should make a sticky or somethin tellin people what to do every so many miles like at 60k or 75k w/e...and tell them what to do when winter comes around such as flushin the system and what not**

Depending on how often you clean your air filter and TB, you may want to do that, as well as change your oil.
My wheel bearings, and from what I've read many others' as well, went bad around 60k, so checking them out may be a good thing to do as well.
(When I first saw the thread title, I though you were coming in to $75,000, and were asking what you should do with it LOL)

well, if you want to know about your regular maintenance, your owners manual has a list of it all. I hope you had your timing belt changed at 60k, its also a good idea to spend the extra $$$ and replace the water pump at the same time. Dealerships dont usualy change them, but the beta coolant pump is only rated fora lifetime of 60k miles. I know, i had a hissy fit with my dealer when mine seized at 112k and the first mechanic laughed at me. I almost knocked his ass out. err, sorry for the tangent.
