    Engine oil and oil filter is the main item.

    When you get to 15K miles I suggest you look at the engine air and cabin air filters and replace if they are dirty. With the engine air filter, the standard is when you hold the filter up to the sun and cannot see light coming through, then replace the filter.

    With the cabin air filter, I suppose the standard is when the amount of dirt and leaves disgusts you, realizing that you are breathing through that.
