Good start. Just don't forget the transaxle oil needs to be changed at ~60k mi. When I changed my transaxle oil at 53k mi., it was eye opening. I'm still investigating transaxle performance.

BTW, I also recommend having your used oil tested especially when you go to extended intervals. This replaces guesses with facts and data. Be sure to submit a virgin sample to the same service as a benchmark.
