Also check serpentine belt when you do the air filter and check brake pads when you do the brake flush. Also clean debris from front radiators.
If you really want to obsess, split the oil filter open and look for metal debris. During the drain take a sample from the middle and send it out for analysis.
You can also pour in bottle of techron at your next full fill up.

Congrats on the 4S! Above suggestions are good ones. May I ask what the service records show for recent maintenance if any?

Car is in the service shop for inspection now.
From first look they sent me list by email:
sparks, coils, all fluids, all filters, belt including belt wheels, brake rotors. They will also check coolant reservoir, cap and watter pump.

Fluids and filters and belt I am ok with. (wear and tear)
Coolant reservoir is a weak link and has had failures.
Sparks, if not done 2x , then you need it for sure. Every 4 years of every 60k km
Brake rotors, they can measure the thickness and if not up to spec then needed.
From a DYI aspect, I would do all of them except the water pump and coolant reservoir. If they are doing the waterpump they can do the belt with it.
