I changed the transmission fluid, did a oil change, wiper blades, rear brakes, and visually inspected everything else. Thought the dealer was a rip off.

they also

recommend coolant change and I did a brake fluid change

both of these items is easy to do at home, bleedign brakes goes quicker with two people (i.e. 2 hours for both fluid changes)

It's a lil off topic, but does anyone have any tricks to changing the oil filter? I've always done my own until now! I can see the filter, just haven't devised a way to get to it.

The filter is right next to the wheel on the passengers side. All you really have to do, is turn the wheels to the right and remove, or bend back the plastic next to the wheel.
