So the time has finally come for my 60k tune up as my odo just hit 59.

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of exactly what should be done to keep it in tip top shape and covered under warranty? I'm a starving college kid but I know it's important.
 
Here's what the manual recommends

96,000 Km (60,000 Miles)

Change engine oil and install a new oil filter.
Rotate tires and inspect for wear.
Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, brake lines, hoses and parking brake system (adjust parking brake if required).
Inspect wheel ends for end play and noise.
Inspect engine cooling system and hoses.
Inspect exhaust system and heat shields.
Inspect steering linkage, suspension and ball joints.
Inspect halfshafts, driveshaft and U-joints (if equipped).
Install a new engine air filter (not required for Focus).
Install a new fuel filter (not required for Fusion, Milan and Zephyr).
Install a new cabin air filter (if equipped).
Change automatic transmission/transaxle fluid on all vehicles equipped with the TorqShift, 4R100, 4F50N or 4F27E transmissions. Inspect automatic transmission fluid level on all other vehicles (if equipped with a fluid level indicator). Change the in-line service-installed transmission fluid filter (if equipped).
Change automatic transmission fluid on all vehicles equipped with a CVT transmission and install a new high-pressure case filter and O-rings.
Install new climate controlled seat cushion filters (if equipped) (Navigator, Lincoln LS, Zephyr, Freestar, Monterey, Expedition and Aviator).
Lubricate steering linkage, suspension and ball joints (if equipped with zerk fittings).
Lubricate 4x2 wheel bearings, replace grease seals and adjust bearings (if equipped with serviceable bearings).
Change manual transmission fluid (if equipped).
Lubricate the 4x4 front axle shaft U-joints (if equipped) (F250/350/450/550).
Multi-point inspection recommended.
 
Just do whatever you need to do from the list, for instance, change the oil if it's due, brakes and look under your hood to see if anything is leaking. You don't need new spark plugs untill 100,000 miles.
