Default 52,500 service - whats included?

Hey guys, just got a notice from Honda, as well as a coupon, reminding me of my 52,500 mile service. I bought the car with 46xxx miles and changed the oil and filter at 49xxx. The dealer "said" they changed all the fluids when the car was traded in before i bought it at 46xxx miles.

What service is done at 52,500?

Is it worth taking in for diff and tranny fluids? or change the oil, check pads, tires, tire pressure myself?

Thanks Guys!

i read the FAQ's on how to perform all of the service but was not sure as to what needs to be done on the car at this time.

Dont trust Honda when they say they changed and replaced "ALL fluids" I was going to buy a "preowned" 2001 s2k ha yea 7 years old is preowned. Well i asked the manager for used car sales and he says he changed out all fluids with ome fulids when they did the "150 point inspection". Well i checked and neither brake fluid nor clutch fluid was changed and oil was not clean or so that was not VERY fresh just from looking.

Of course there is a 52500 service. It is the oil change prior to 60K. Doesn't anone read their owner's manual any more?

I am no expert or close to it i have had my s2k for about 2 weeks. If you dont know how long it has been since tranny, clutch, brake, diff oil has been changed then yes get all of that done. I am in the process of doing all of the fluid changes on my S.
