I'm hitting almost 22,000 miles

So, as I'm due for my next oil change at around 21,929 miles in a couple of more weeks or so, what have you guys done to your cars at this point? Or better yet, what should we do for our cars at this point in time?

(my brake pads are at 70% on my last oil change by the way).

I've always changed out my oil at around 3000-3500miles as of writing this, I haven't done anything else other than that. I'll be personally changing out the cabin filter (thanks to the DIY post by 'davidspalding') very soon. I have been saying that when I hit around 15,000 miles way back when, but I will stop procrastinating soon! I promise!

Thoughts? Suggestions? (I know there is a 'scheduled maintenance' booklet, however, I take that with a grain of salt since the Service depot never makes suggestions (even when I asked) whenever I bring my car in for oil change).

You can change out your engine air filter. It's suggested at 30,000 though. I just did mine at around 30K with the K&N drop-in filter.

changed the filters at approx. 30,000 miles, get the oil changed when the oil life is at at least 10%, get tires rotated and balanced every other oil change. My 06 6MT is 15 months old today (bought new) with almost 37,000 miles.

At your mileage I'd just do the oil, oil filter, cabin filter, and tire rotation. I'd inspect the air filter to see how dirty it is. I'd wait till 30K to start changing the other fluids.
