Washer fluid
Cabin air filter
Power steering fluid
Anti-Freeze flush/refill

That should about cover it.

Number one is to do your fuel filter right away. Number two would be fluid drain and fills.

For my '08, differentials are full synthetic 75w-90 gear lube. Trans (68rfe) and transfer case (np273) are both ATF +4, as is power steering.
