Guess I'll call for an oil change this week. Any other advice? Should I request maybe a coolant replacement too?[/QUOTE]

Quite a few items require replacement due to time and not mileage - not only oil, but your coolant (its not really lifetime) and brake / clutch fluid which needs replacing every 2 years.
It wouldn't be a bad thing to replace the poly-rib belt too - its only a few dollars and you can inspect the water pump and idler rollers at the same time.
One these relatively simple jobs are out of the way, you will be good for another few years.....
