I agree with roadsession.

I would also add the following:

- air filter (depending on when it was last changed). This can also help to prolong the MAF sensor.

- replace cabin air filter with the new bosch charcol filter (again, depending on when it was last changed).

- check your catalytic converters. Early model years had problems with the weld and they would crack. I think that these are still covered by a federally mandated warranty up to 80,000 miles. Otherwise, I hear that they are about $1,500 each.

- check for any other typical problems like the D-pillar, door locks, etc... If you have a good relationship with your dealer and are having all of the other maintanence done by them, now is a good time to ask for a partial good will on repairs of any known defects.
