Congrats on the ride and welcome to the forums.
Your manual will give a general listing for what needs done at certain mileage levels. But you just got this ride, so I would go through everything from axle to axle. Sounds kind of extreme, but my owners manual for the 10r lists about everything to be checked at 12k miles.

Glad that you are looking after yourself. The manual I was referring to was the service manual. Normally does not come with the purchase.
