In this DIY we tackle 3 items, 2 of which are good to do at 60,000 miles: Change Spark Plugs, clean Throttle Body, change PCV, and while we are at it swap out the Battery for a stouter battery going from a group 25 that max out at 625 Cold Cranking Amps to a group 34 with 800 Cold Cranking Amps. Demo is on a 5th generation Subaru Outback 2017.
