Default 80k miles - maintenance needed - thoughts?

2013 450h approaching 80k miles and running great. (Bought new in 2013.)

I usually take to dealer for routine maintenance but that consists of oil change and rotating tires. I can change filters, wipers, etc. myself.

But is there anything else I should maybe have the dealer examine/do at this mileage?
(Still have original brakes and battery.)

(Book notes some things to torque, etc. but does brake fluid really need to be changed, etc.)?

Thx in advance!

PS. I love the vehicle. Never use on-board computer for mileage (it is not accurate) but do my own calculations and run ~28-30 mpg in summer (mix of fast highway and city in ECO mode) and ~4 mpg less in winter. Car could use some improvements especially the driver seat (for 190lb man).

Do the items that the book says, including brake fluid.

Rest is all optional.

There are /suspension nuts and bolts that need to checked. They are marked in the maintenance manual. May be some one can post an image with torques.

Brake fluid is a bit overdue.
Check sliding pins on front calipers - they have to be lubricated if the vehicle is operated in the rust belt.
That's the only "major" issue I had with my Lexus vehicles of the past.

Caliper pins have to be moved or lubricated once a year.
You have hybrid. Change ATF in PSD and rear differential. Yes, it's not "required" but is due anyway.
