Hi guys, I recently purchased a 2012 Wrx sedan. It has about 12,000 miles on it now, which is 2,000 more than when I bought it and that got me thinking of an oil change looming. From there my brain meandered to other things and to which I thought to myself..I've never owned a newer car nor have I owned one with a turbo (besides that horrid Talon Tsi). My question to you all is, other than regular oil changes making sure fluids are topped off such as: washer fluid power steering coolant oil transmission fluid ensuring my tires see even wear and are rotated, and keeping the car clean and free of debris, are there any other routine maintenance items I am missing or some things you do that have proved helpful over the years? I'm open to your thoughts as this could become a compilation for future questions like mine.

Yep, Minnesota is considered "Harsh." Stick to the higher abuse level of maintenance for everything up here.
