At 60,000 miles (96,000km) it's essentially a huge inspect (look for problems) list:

--Looking for problems--
Inspect air filter element
Inspect ball joints
Inspect brake calipers and wheel cylinders
Inspect brake lines and hoses
Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
Inspect brake pad/shoe thickness
Inspect chassis nuts and bolts for looseness or damage
Inspect coolant, brake & washer fluid levels
Inspect drive belt for damage, adjust tension if required
Inspect drive shaft boots
Inspect dust covers
Inspect engine coolant
Inspect engine valve clearance (auditably)
Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings
Inspect fuel lines and connections, fuel tank band and fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
Inspect fuel tank cap gasket
Inspect lights, horn & wipers for proper function
Inspect radiator, condenser and/or intercooler
Inspect shock absorbers for looseness, damage, or leakage
Inspect steering gear box
Inspect steering linkage and boots
Inspect tires & adjust pressure as required, including spare
Inspect transmission fluid or oil
Lubricate locks, latches, and hinges
Rotate tires
= Dealer cost: $210?
or $0 DIY cost

--Actual replacement--
Replace cabin air filter ($10 DIY/$30 dealer)
Replace engine oil and oil filter ($20 DIY/$40 dealer)
Replace transmission fluid ($40 DIY/$120 dealer)
= $190 dealer replacement costs
or $70 DIY cost
