I have owned my 2001 9-3 for 3 months.  It has 81K miles.  I have done the
following since I bought it in the hopes of getting it in adequate shape
for another 80K:

I do not know the former owner's service schedule (but the car looks brand
new, so I'd like to think that it was serviced according to plan).

0-40 Mobil 1 that I ran for 1000 miles, then flushed and replaced again with
0-40 M-1 which I will now replace every 3 or 4K.

Radiator coolant flushed and replaced.

Transmission fluid changed.

Fuel filter changed and injector cleaning.

Serpentine belt changed.

Anything else I need to be thinking of?  The only thing that comes to mind
is the automatic transmission fluid, but I'm not really mechanically
minded, so I'd appreciate any ideas.  

thanks

Sorry, I meant to say that the only thing I can think of is the power
steering fluid.
