Checkup before warranty expires

My warranty expires this April. I want to know if there is any check up I need to get done before it expires. What type of check up should be performed to make sure everything is alright (engine et al)?

You have an owners manual?

There's a checklist closer to the back of the manual that outlines what to do.

Replace engine oil.
Replace engine oil filter.
Inspect front and rear brakes.
Lubricate all hinges, locks and latches.
Rotate tires (follow pattern on page 276 of your owner's manual).
Inspect tie-rod ends, steering gearbox and boots.
Inspect suspension components.
Inspect drive shaft boots.
Replace air cleaner element.
Inspect drive belt.
Replace dust and pollen filter. (See Dust and Pollen Filter on page 270 of your owner's manual for replacement information under special driving conditions.)

Thank you. I will check it out. Is there anything specific with the engine that I should ask the dealer to check? (diagnostics and such?)

Besides those listed on MM's reply, if your engine has been running smooth, then there's nothing I can think of at this mileage point.

Before the warranty expired on my 06 I brought it to the dealer for service (it was due for a oil change and tire rotation. I asked them to check it over good before the warranty ended. They did-no problems found.

I called the Acura dealer today. They told that there is no checkup that Acura does before the warranty expiration. They told that they can correct any problems that I have.
