Any big service at 70k?
Just turned 70K, Is there any preventive maintenance due?

there are NO mileage intervals for maintenance on your vehicle. please follow your MID and see your owner's manual for further details.
only this that is time dependent is your brake fluid-every 3 yrs. TB is around 105K mi but that will be indicated by your MID.
IF you want to, you can do your power steering fluid (not in manual), but if its dirty then you want to put new fluid in. other than that...your MID is your friend.
there are plenty of people that do fluids and what not by mileage or time, just b/c they are anal/OCD about their car, follow old school thinking, or track their car. however you will be fine following the MID and what your owner's manual tells you. certainly you can do your tranny fluid and the switches (as preventative). up to you. nothing wrong with being proactive about your maintenance if you are able to DIY. your wallet might be a little lighter...but your car will be really happy.

Have you done the switches yet? Noticed some guys also switching to Redline for there tranny fluid. Doesn't the OEM fluid have so sort of special additives?

Redline D4 is good. 3Q D4 + 6Q of Redline Racing is better. Whatever you decide, I recommend not going OEM. The OEM fluid has high amounts of FM which causes slipping but 'smoother' shifting. Would you rather have a 100k life transmission that shifts a little smoother or a 500k transmission that shifts slightly less smooth (maybe .001%)?

A cabin filter surely wouldn't hurt if it wasn't done previously at all, inspect engine air filter, etc. Maybe grease door hinges and related things....condition weather stripping....lol just throwing thoughts out there for ya
