Hey guys,
taking car in next week for several small issues.... 1 have 1 light left in dash, service is due and soon... getting oil changed, wipers, and need to have power steering unit looked at (i too was having issue where car was really loud bc of steering until it warded up)
but other than that, is there anything major I should have looked at or replaced?

If not a dealer but an indy, I would have the "lifetime" fluids changed in diff and tranny (dealer labor rates way too high for difficulty involved, except maybe coolant flush noted below).

Spark plugs should have been changed in Service II, if not, they are needed. And brake fluid flush as well as coolant flush if not done at Service II.

Tranny, diff and oil can almost be done at once, since one of the time consuming items is letting everything drain. Brake fluid flush will take a little time as well as coolant flush.
