Service Question

Here is what i need help with, I just got married, so money is very tight.

I have 44500 miles on my 2008 G35 Auto.

I have been getting synthetic oil every 3750.
I am on my third set of tires (18K, 19K respectively)
I have had the rear break replaced.
2 sets of wiper blades.
In Cabin Filter done twice
Air filter about 15 - 18 K each time

I just need help to know what i NEED to do to keep this car running well.

Should I be replacing any fluids, if so which ones? Please help me before the dealer takes me for a ride, I am going in for some service tomorrow.

Thanks
The dealer keeps trying to push 1000 dollar services at me

I did some searches on the forums but i really need some personalized help on this one.

This page has everything you ever need to know on what needs to be done for maintenance on any given interval.

To add, unless you're ******* the engine, there is no need to change oil every 3,750. I'm now at 7k intervals based on oil analysis recommendations.

That is the same manual the car comes with, but it doesnt tell you when you have to do the differential oil, or the auto trans, etc.

The dealer keeps trying to get me to replace the fluids,and I am not sure if that is really needed, so if someone could give me some guidance on that information that would really help me out.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, it does. Check out the 30k Premium schedule, for example.

Ah. Ok.

Me, personally, i've had differential oil and coolant changed at 30k, although neither is necessary. I've also changed the brake fluid at least twice and the pads once in the 27k miles i've owned the car (previous owner had regular maintenance done --- oil stuff, car has 40k+ now) -- all these because the car is being tracked. Additionally, i've replaced engine and in-cabin filters at least once.

I'm not sure what the $1k service is from your dealership, but it sounds ridiculously high. I'll bet you most of it will be "check this, lubricate that".
