60k Mile Service - Anything besides Oil Change and Brake Fluid?

Hi guys, I tried searching but didn't find anything for 8th gens.

2017 SL
I'm coming up on 60k mile service, the maintenance manual says to inspect a bunch of stuff and then flush brake fluid along with the typical oil change/ oil filer.

Anything else you guys would recommend doing? I know the dealer is gonna suggest a bunch of stuff (that may or may not actually need to be done) but just wanted to check what actually needs doing from people that own the car.

Already had CVT fluid done at 45k so not gonna do that again til 90k probably

Thanks!

Doing all of my own work except for transmissions I would also look at:
1. Recalls to insure all have been done.
2. Exhaust system check. Look for exhaust leaks. Damaged pipes and/or mufflers.
3. If not my car, then road check, listening for unusual brake noises (squeeling), although cust. would prob. bring this up.
4. Alignment check, front and rear, and adjust as necessary.
5. Inspect tires for possible replacement. Balance as necessary if cust. complains of vibration at speed.
6. Pull codes.
7. Lube all door hinges, including hood and trunk.
8. Replace interior air filter.
9. Inspect spare tire and refill to spec, While there check for water intrusion in spare tire well.
10. Inspect radiator cap for pressure check and replace if necess.
11. Check all 4 wheel universal (forget what they're called) cover boots for cracks or slits.
12. Check operation of all exterior lights.
13. Check windshield wipers for signs of deterioration.
14. Rotate steering wheel lock to lock and listen for air in lines. Check lines for fluid leaks.
15. Check top and bottom of engine and trans for possible external leaks or seeps.
16. Starts getting just picky from here....................
