Opinion on 60k Mile Service at Dealer

I'm coming up on 60k on my '05 OBXT 5mt and stopped in to my local dealer yesterday to find out what's included with the 60k Service which they charge $531 for. To be honest, the list of things they actually "perform" as compared to what they "check" was pretty slim. Also, from looking at list of maintenance items for the 60k service listed on My.Subaru.com, it showed that the cooling system flush and braking system flush should be included in the 60k Service, only my dealer lists them as "additional costs" ??

 

As part of the $531, they do peform the items below--but with the following caveats:

 

-change the plugs (but add $79.00 because the XT uses iridium plugs)

-change the oil (but $50 because I use Mobile 1)

 

I just did my own brakes (but didn't replace the fluid) so, I'm edging towards just having them do a synth oil change, flush the brake system and a 4 wheel alignment (I'm sure I'm "due")--and doing the rest myself. Would anyone mind confirming the list of "gotta' do's" at 60k miles?

 

Gotta' Do's:

-brake system flush - will probaly have dealer do

-cooling system flush - i can do

-oil change (synth) - will have dealer do

-iridium plugs (are these difficult to change?)

-air cleaner element - can do myself

-check all boots and brake lines - can do myself

 

Plus:

-4-wheel alignment - will have dealer do

 

Thanks guys....appreciate it.
