30k service recommendations
I have an 06 auto which will soon be hitting 30k miles. I plan on driving it until the doors fall off. With that being said I would like to keep it in prestine condition by performing whatever preventative maintenance I can regardless of the recommended Acura "mileage" or "service interval" I plan on doing the following steps :
Oil change - Mobil 1 synthetic w/ OEM filter (due for a change soon)
Tranny fluid flush 3X - OEM Honda/Acura Tranny Fluid
Brake Flush - (thinking about trying ATE Super Blue)
Power Steering Fluid - OEM Honda/Acura Power Steering Fluid
Coolant flush - ordinary coolant fluid mixture 50/50
Air Filter - K&N
Cabin Filter - OEM
Is there anything else I should be looking at or changing? Or is there something that I shouldn't even do which doesnt really need to be changed?
TIA

Sounds like you are on top of all the important things
Do as much as you can yourself and save big$$
Inspect the CV boots for tears while doing oil change
All I would put on your list is to remove each wheel and regrease the contact points
of the brake pads and caliper slide rails with brake caliper grease
Remove the 2 screws that hold the rotors on with impact srewdriver
grease with anti sieze and reinstall or be sorry later
Apply anti sieze to the hub to rotor center points- corrosion loves that spot
Same goes for the back of the rim to rotor hub contact- a little grease now and later...
For fun pull the rear caliper and bracket, remove rotor and clean park brake assembly and lube it too.
Prevention is the key to long car life
Have fun!!
