For my first service, whether it was warranted or not:
Engine oil
Diff oil (also installed T-locker)
Check clutch
Air filter (was perfect)
Fixed toe alignment

Best thing to help it down the road is not to take it to a dealer for service. Doing it yourself will ensure it's done right and a whole lot cheaper too. But if you insist going that route I'd say checking everything they did when you get it back.
DO IT YOURSELF ! SAVE HUNDREDS ! IT WILL BE DONE CORRECTLY ! But if you have to take it to a dealer DON'T let them check the valves , 100s more wasted . Then when you get it home CHECK EVERYTHING THEY DID ! Check every fluid level and every bolt and nut they touched . Then you should be fine .

I have a local Honda dealer that will be doing the locker install for me. I have changed oil and diffs myself a few times and its not difficult....just patience

Curious, does the P520 have the same battery box cover issue as many P500s had with the upper bolt spinning? Wish I had the dealer remove mine to see the issue before heading home. It took some DIY fix to replace their upper bolt design.

IF I can do it on my P500, it’s pretty easy: oil drain and change; same for diff fluids; clean out spark resistor cache on end of muffler; R&R spark plug; etc. I also wired in some exterior and interior lights via the official accessory wiring accessory harness; all the above from (where else) Amazon. Figure saved a wad of Single malt $$$$. Take time and follow U-tube instructions and/or get a manual for $25 to really get into the machine. Good Luck
