Default Servicing of all the basics..

So I've had my S since September and it's been fine but I'm still uneasy about the unknown service history so I'd like to get everything done in one lump just to kinda push the reset button on the service schedule. I also figure that while I'm getting this done, I might as well replace some parts the commonly break (if any).

My list so far:

Engine oil
Tranny fluid
Diff fluid
Brake fluid
Clutch fluid
Spark plugs
Check the brakes

The car has 53,000 KM on it... are there any parts that may start breaking soon? Chain tensioner? CV joints? go easy on me i'm not that mechanically inclined

Thanks

You might want to check his pipes too Jordan.

Matt you are on the right track, have you decided what oil you are going to use?

I usually use these fluids...

Motul 300v for my oil (I might try Eneos though)
Motul Gear 300 for my diff
Motul RBF 600 for my brakes
Honda MTF for tranny

I would also re-torque your wheel nuts, because I found mine getting loose a couple times.

That shouldn't be happening. What wheels and what brand lug nuts are you using?
