What else am i missing?
Brake fluid
power steering fluid
engine air filters
differential oil
top off battery cells with distilled water
some go for the serpentine belt then too.


EDIT: BTW, there isn't a filter to change on the tranny, and unless there's some particular concern or the fluid looks really cooked, it's usually just a drain and fill of the pan (about 4-5 quarts +/- ), but be sure to use the Nissan "Matic-S" fluid. The trans in these cars really is quite sensitive to generic fluids and using them could very well mess up your tranny. Also, these brakes are prone to judder, which is akin to what most people call warping, so it most likely isn't caused by your wheels.

Ah fresh blood, welcome to DRIVER! The 60K mile service includes all fluids/filters and belts if they show any signs of wear. Warped rotors are a PIA if bad enough, the cause is allowing your tires/wheels to be installed using a impact gun. Installers don't know when to quit and will frequently over tighten your lug nuts....rotor warp! Let them know you want installer to use a torque wrench set at 85, issue solved! Dealerships have a machine that will true your rotors while on the car, cost is minimal and will make the trip south more enjoyable!
Good Luck....Gary

Not to contradict Gary, and maybe it's different for the V35 models, but these V36 sedans just came with some pretty poor rotors (and pads). They tend toward judder regarless of lugnut torquing (although his comment is generally accurate), and if you read up a bit, you'll most likely find that most people here have had the judder return again after they had them turned. You can do it to anyway just to squeeze some more life out of them since you plan to upgrade eventually anyway.

I agree with Gary, but make sure they know to use the TQ wrench in lieu of the impact. I have seen people from places like big o and discount impact the lugs on then go around with the TQ wrench to verify they are @ 85. This means they are going to be at whatever psi the air compressor puts out and what gearing is on their inpact. Most likely way above 85.
