Default Maintence for the Z with 35,000 miles

Hello Everyone,
I have had the 06 Z for three years now and has been maintained with oil changes every 2500 miles and just got new tires for my aftermarket wheels. The Z the Z just approached 35000 miles and it is my daily driver. I would take her to the dealer but I know they would charge an arm and a leg and then some. Is the anything else that I would need to do to her to make sure she continues to run fine.
Any Suggestions?
Thank for your time everyone.
Sincerely -BH

Tranny fluid change
Rear diff fluid change
Coolant change
Belts (you could probably wait on this, I did mine at 48k)

ok fluids I understand. I have been checking those and they are not low or anything. BUt a change of fluids would be bad. Better do that as well.
Anything else guys? and thanks for all the info.

I think the fuel filter is inside the tank/part of the pump. You may want to skip that.. I'm not finding anything that suggests that is necessary (at least on the 2006).

Definately check/replace that air filter though if you haven't already.

PCV valve?

well I got the Pcv valve. 12.00 bucks so I may as well change it. I just got the fluids done need another 1000 before changing the oil.

I still have to change the:
Air filter
tranny fluid
coolant fluid
fuel filter- only needs to be changed if fuel pump goes out according to 4 techs.

Question is I still have to do the REAR DIFFERENTIAL Fluid. but what specific type is it?
I went to ask at NAPA and AUTOZONE stores and they have several types but they have no idea which one it is.
Any REcommendations?
I hope this thread helps other members as well. Thanks guys!
