Question 75K Maintenance

Hey guys,
I recently just purchased a 09 TL SH-AWD w/ Tech. It has 74,673 miles on it. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow. The MID says that the oil was at 100% when I picked it up but I can't say that it was actually changed or if they just reset it. You know some people just do that! I would also just like to have a peace of mind for myself that it was actually done correctly. I'm not sure if any of the other fluids (tranny, transfer case, brake) has been changed. I can do the filters (air & cabin) myself so i'm not going to get them to replace that. I know there is truly no "75K" maintenance because the Maintenance Minder tells you what the vehicle needs based on how you drive not your mileage. What exactly should I get them to look at when I go tomorrow?

If you got your car at a dealer, I would follow MID. A oil change is cheap, if they reset it, that would not be good.

For peace of mind, I changed every fluid at 25k miles in my '13 SH-AWD

It cost me ~$100 total and now I know exact what fluids are in there and when they were changed.

If it says 100% the oil should be new. Go pull the dipstick out and if the oil looks clean they probably changed it, if the oil is really dark they probably just reset the MID without changing it.
