Exactly; always use your maintenance schedule as a guide. In addition, whenever I am draining the engine oil, I take the time to clean the engine bay and seals:

1. Use a spray bottle with water to spritz engine components and then wipe with a paper towel.
2. Use a rubber hose and seal protectant like Armor All on easily reachable hoses and hood seals.
3. Apply the same protectant on door and hatch seals.
4. Top off windshield wiper fluid and radiator coolant tanks if necessary.
5. Remove the battery caps and add distilled water if necessary.
6. Look around the engine bay for any leaks, split or cracked hoses/tubing.

A car with a high mileage on it requires a great maintenance in the future. You should check the following on a regular basis:

  • coolant
  • power steering fluid
  • brake fluid
  • transmission fluid
  • wiper fluid

There are other stuff to consider, take some time reading articles all over the internet for information.
