Default What maintenance should I do?

I have about 27,000 miles on my 02 ss now and it runs fine. The only maintenance ive done on it is oil changes, air filter, new brake pads, tire rotation, alignment, and grease my aftermarket panhard bar.

Looking at my haynes manual they suggest alot of stuff by 30,000 miles:
change manual transmission lubricant
change differential lubricant
replace fuel filter
check drivebelt
replace spark plugs
lubricate chassis

Of these, what is not really needed? Did they miss anything?

What are the most important things I should do?

From my own personal experience, and other threads recently, you are overdo for a fuel filter. Some incredible pics of old CRUD examples. Don't let that stuff get in your engine. Change it. Age is becoming a factor as well (that is why I changed mine).

The more you do the better. That is why it is called preventive maintenance.
