Here is the list of items in the Scheduled Maintenance section of the 2021 Owner's Manual. (I didn't catch any differences in the 2022 manual.)
I'm presenting it here because, as much as possible, I try to do the work on my own. (I have issues with people touching my stuff!!) Hopefully, we have some mechanical know-how in the community who can offer advice and some guidance (with the standard disclaimers). If not, it's still a good reference.
I'll follow up post some 'how do I...' type questions. (I've number them for referencing)
