If you post your mileage, it would give us a better idea of what you should do

Your car looks clean form the pic, but maybe a nice detail on the outside and inside if you havent done one in a while. Just spend most of a day cleaning every inch of that car ahah, i wish i had the time to do that. I find myself a ltl lazy these days especially with finals and all coming up. Not a good sign. Maybe over spring break ill get a good clean out of my car

assuming you did the timing belt-water pump at 105 there is no need for coolant flush now
If you didnt get the timing belt/wp- thats your number 1 priority now!!!!

Seafoam the oil before change- will really get stuff clean for you-
if you want- install new oil filter then seafoam- drive 100-150 miles and change oil and new filter

Seafoam the gas at 1/2 tank, and manifold vac port-1 can each place
replace spark plugs-ngk irids
flush brake fluid-
flush power steering fluid

How much lower can you go with your settings like that? That's a real good drop btw.

On maintenance, i think the above posts pretty much covers most of it. 01tl4tl knows his stuff so follow his instructions .
