about the only thing i'd consider adding to the 120k service (on top of all that 60k service stuff) would be having the water pump, battery, and alternator changed. not a heck of a lot else needs done.

usually, i just get all my stuff done at the same time with the service. coolant, tranny, oil, etc. you may not actually NEED a new alternator; but if you have a bad gasket around your oil-manifold cap...i can forsee a new alternator in your near future.

remember. the water pump runs off the serpentine belt. i learned (the easy way) from my old escort...when it siezes up...it will destroy the timing belt. on these cars...that means NEW ENGINE TIME. dont' chance it.
