I am taking care of the 60k servicing myself. Any suggestions for my to do list for MY05? On the list are spark plugs, oil chg, all filters, ATF flush. Does this car have a PCV valve? As I have the 100k warranty, what are the common issues that pop up that I should also look for? Thanks for the help.

I'd strongly recommend you perform the 60k service that's described in the documentation that came with your car.
