Preventative Maintenance

My car is about to hit 55k. I am getting new plugs soon along with my new coils... What other type of Preventative Maintenance should I get done to my car to keep it in good condition for a long time? And yes I know oil changes...

What I will do:

1. Flush the engine with Auto-RX
2. Flush the transmission with Auto-RX
3. Flush the Power Steering Fluid with Auto-RX
4. After flush phases are completed, fill oil, tranny and PS with good quality syntetics. I am a big fan of Amsoil ASL 5W-30 oil and Amsoil ATF
5. Flush your radiator and fill with Toyota Red Antifreeze and distilled water
6. Change radiator cap
7. Flush brake fluid and fill in with a good quality synthetic...I like Valvoline
8. Change PCV valve
9. Change belts and hoses
10. change spark plugs with OE NGK platinums
11. Change cabin microfilter
