Ok, so I should have started with this:
I plan to swap the oil, transmission fluid, and differential fluid on Saturday for Amsoil.
The car is at 21,000 miles so I'm basically going to do the 30,000 mile scheduled service.
Is there anything else that you guys would suggest doing, replacing, checking, cleaning, etc.?

Checked the cabin air filter today at lunch. Clearly had not been changed. Ever.
Is there anything else that I should look out for? With a 7 year old car with low miles, that they may have overlooked?

Brake fluid.
Check tires for born on date. If they came with the car, go burn the tread off the rears in a parking lot somewhere (burn outs and drifting should do it) and replace all four before you find "mexico" or a track.

My plan is to do brake and steering fluid, and coolant flush in the spring when I wake it up.
The geniuses who sold it to me put new tires on it: Pilot Sport 4S on the front and Pilot Sport AS 3+ on the rear... So I need two tires no matter what.
