Hi Everyone, I just pass the 70K mileage on my 2016 Santa Fe Sports 2.0T Limited.

What are some recommended maintenance service I should perform on my car?

I did some research here are few of them, and I have not perform any of these service below before:
1. Throttle body cleaning service (suggested by dealer)
2. Engine Transmission Fluid Flush (suggested by dealer)
3. Brake Fluid Flush
4. Car starter spark plug
5. EFI service (suggested by dealer)

For all of these services, I don't need to go to dealer right? I'm sure it will cost more there.

Thank you so much!

Dealership will suggest several useless services. Have the brake fluid replaced by them, decline the rest. May pull the spark plugs see how they look. Mind you, at H all these will shock you $$$ spark plugs alone may be into the hundreds. Transmission fluid don't touch given you do little miles. EFI and throttle body not needed.

Here's how I roll:

1. Throttle body clean every 50,000 miles.
2. Trans drain and refill NO FLUSH! every 30-60,000 miles, depending on trans reputation and driving conditions.
3. Brake fluid flush every 3 years.
4. Spark plugs per manual. 45,000 miles for the turbo I believe.
5. EFI service aka induction service aka wallet flush ... only if there's driveability issues.
