What do you do for maintenance?

What do you do for maintenance?
Or what have you done that you think results in your car running better and longer than most.
I am trying to piece out my 60k service and I think i'm done, now at 66k.
So far I have:
Rotated the tires
Replaced Engine oil and filter
Cleaned my K&N air filter
Replaced the Cabin filter
Had my infiniti dealer change transfer case (AWD I believe)
Had my local shop (fantastic) flush Tranny Fluid AND Coolant.
Filled washer fluid
Filled brake fluid and power steering fluid to correct levels. (Do I need to flush these?)
What else........... Battery seems good, lube locks and hinges maybe.
Do I need to worry about the Diffs?
Is there anything that I am forgetting or should be forgetting? Thanks in advance.

Yes on the brake fluid flushing, yes on changing the rear end oil. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to check the spark plugs too. I think they're rated for 100K, but getting them by that time might be a challenge.
On the topic of brakes, wouldn't be a bad idea to pull the pads, clean the debris/rust off the sliders, lube them (the sliders), and also lube the pad ears to prevent uneven wear.
For the power steering, fluid is cheap. Use something to suck out old fluid, add new, run the car for a bit while turning the wheels lock to lock ( to bleed the system), then repeat several times.
While you're under the car, make sure all the front end parts are tight and no play in the wheel bearings.

I got the 'motive' bleeder. Relatively cheap, and works well.
http://www.motiveproducts.com/ . Dealer wanted $130 to bleed brakes on a diff car, so we bought this instead.

You really ought to consider doing the diffs on your own. It is a very simple job. If you can change your motor oil, you can change your diff oil too.
