Rear Diff just inspect at 30k. With hard driving it may be bad at that point but I have also had it come out looking new. Spark plugs at 60k per the manual is already kinda overkill for iridium plugs. And even the engine interval you suggest is not needed, but a UOA from Blackstone could help you figure that out better. I would say just check your air filter at 15k and every oil change after that if it seems bad. Change the cabin filter per the manual or whenever it starts to smell with the air or heat on

I would go 8-9k on the oil if that is going to be mostly highway driving.

Don't know about the auto tranny but the diff oil and drain plug get pretty dirty due to the break in and a lot of shavings accumulate in the drain plug. I did my first change at 10k miles and then another at 40k. See pictures below. The fluid the second time was pretty clean. It could have probably been stretched out past 40k.
