oil change/oil filter
flush and replace coolant
auto trans fluid (what about the AT filter? I see no mention of that)
fuel filter
PCV valve
spark plugs
air filter
the rest I see are just inspection type things (look at the belts, brakes, ball joints etc)
How about replace brake fluid? Replace power steering fluid?
Any help is much appreciated. -Jim

Here are my thoughts:
3000 on oil
5000-15,000 on air filter (depending on use/environment)
aprox 30,000 on plugs (I know they last longer, but I don't want to keep a plug in an engine for 100,000 and get it stuck)
15,000 to 50,000 on tranny. (depending on use)
Brake fluid-every 3-5 years-bleed to remove old that collects moisture.
