60k/6 year should be a big service, definately gearbox oil, diff oil, engine oil, check the belts though you should have had those done last year plugs, coolant possibly and air filter.
Not worth putting fully synthetic in your car if its never been run on it with 60k on the clock, always best doing it with lower miles as the wear that the fully synth reduces has already been caused.

Hi Shane I had my 60k done on my MY03 WRX @ the end of Feb. There are several independent specialists in the area who will know what's right for your car.

Plugs are done for this one. Plus all your fluids including coolant & brake fluid. Also all your filters : oil, air & fuel.

I am on fully synthetic oils.

Silkolene Pro S 10/50 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil

Silkolene SILKTRAN SYN 5 75W-90 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil

Silkolene BOA 90 Limited Slip Differential Oil

Silkolene Pro-Race 2000 Brake Fluid

No problem Shane.Yes I have used Oilman but only for engine oil as I don't use enough of the others to buy in bulk when he does his deals. Another bonus is my independent garage is happy to use my supplied oil provided it is up to the required standard whereas a lot of garages won't.

Keep an eye in Trader Announcements for Guy's (Oilman) deals, he's always got something on the go.

He's got one now for 30% off everything for 1 week only & starts today. Prices are good only until the end of Wednesday 24th June.

Example : - Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 5L Usual price £51.75 @ £37.26
