Default Got my Weekend Cut out for Me

I bought my 08 Alpha a couple weeks ago with about 44,000 miles on it.
It bugs me not knowing when everything has been replaced. That meaning fluids and tune up.
I just got in my Air Doc the other day. My magnaflow should be in by the end of the week.
So I decided to really fill my weekend and went Saturday and bought spark plugs and today bought all fluids, oil filter and transmission filter.

I got the fluids from a friend at the local Chevrolet dealer so am taking for granted I got an ok deal on pricing. At least enough to not shop the Internet.
Bought 6 qts of Mobil1 and filter, Transmission filter kit with gasket in case it is needed, 7 qts of transmission fluid (for transmission and transfer case), and 4 qts of 75w-90 for the differentials.
Came out to $197 before tax. This did not include spark plugs because I got them elsewhere.
This gives me 4 days to buy beer. I actually have a transmission shop that is going to install the Catback so I won't have to worry about that eating up my weekend. I figure that will go a lot easier on a lift.
If ya'll never see a post by me again after the weekend it is probably because I am stuck under the vehicle.

I also am one who needs to know when the last time fluids where changed!

I agree on changing every fluid in the vehicle no matter how many miles once we aquire it. Down to brake and power steering. You never know who put what in where.

TAINTER, good idea. I had not thought about the brakes or steering.
