90,000 Mile Maintenance Question

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if there's anything that is done at the 90,000 mile maintenance mark that I couldn't do myself? I'm not really sure what Mazda "does" for the 90k maintenance. I just hit 91,000 miles, everything is running great (except annoyance of a little rattle from the heat shield on the catalytic converter)...I got a new engine about 35,000 miles ago due to compression loss. Had a new clutch installed at that time as well while the engine was dropped.

Thanks

Aside from coils, plugs, batteries, dried up fuel lines, hoses, bad fuel pump, cant think of anything else.

As far as what Mazda does, there's a difference between what the maintenance chart in the owner's manual says and what a dealer will want to sell you. IMHO, the owner's manual rules, and the threshold to doing everything yourself is whether you're equipped to put the car up on stands to change the transmission and rear end oil.
