30,000 mile maintenance

My Evo is coming up on 30,000 miles, just wondering what kind of maintenance I should have done to the car(besides oil changes, brakes, plugs, and tires). I don't know when i should change the gear oil or diff. fluid or anything like that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The maintenance schedule should be in your manual. At 30k, you want to do all the tranny and diff fluids...

Should you use oem fluids when you're replacing or aftermarket? Which is better?

Does that improve the shifting(notchiness) or does it just stay the same.

For those that have changed all the fluids that is needed for the car, should make a site that dedicate to only fluids changes. With a well instructed and picturial guide to all fluids changing. Yes I have seen the "how to do page," before. But that is so unoriganized and most guides does not include pictures. I'm a visual person. what kind of fluids are we supposed to change. Can anybody list them. Or in fact if you have done them before can you write a guides for dummy maybe I can come up with an instructional site for the communities.
