Nice to see that someone in their mid-20's is still considered a youngster, lol!

A service shop hasn't touched a car in my family(5 in all) in about 8 years, and I'm only 24. Pretty proud of that. But back to the OP, I'd change the coolant, fuel filter, differential fluid, trans(if never done, even if just to take a look at the fluid for piece of mind) and brake fluid if you're really feeling froggy. Remember that brake fluid is hygroscopic so over time it will absorb moisture. You'd be surprised with the difference in pedal feel.

Well, I just changed the fuel filter and oil today. No problem what so ever...
I only have 1 question. Do our cars take 5.5 or 6 quarts of oil? I know I know--check the dipstick and figure it out. Just wondering what is recommended. or opinions. It always seems do differ each time..?
