Yes 30K on plugs and trans fluid/filter and air filters. 60K fuel filter. No spec on diff oil, wouldn't hurt to do at about 150K.
Engine oil I recommend 1000 miles for every quart of engine capacity, that thang holds 8.5 quarts, so I would have no reservation recommending 8500 oil change on "dino" oil or 10K for synthetic.
On the pads I don't have enough info, HOW many miles on the car NOW? You just said twice since 120K........The V8 cars seem to go through pads a bit faster than the 6 cyl gassers. Is the 400 also used mostly on highways or are we comparing apples to oranges? I'd suspect front pads, maybe 30-45K miles on the pads, and rotors every other set of pads, if mostly used on the highway.
Brake fluid every 2 yrs, coolant every 3. Use the MB brake fluid or a good DOT4+. Use MB coolant or Zerez G05
