    Why not let him pick that stuff up? He'll know what's needed.

    Oil and oil filter are the only mandatory items.

    Spark plugs and air filters are not done every service.

    The service interval for fuel filters in petrol cars is huge. About 100k miles big in some cars.

    Your car will not run any better with a new pollen filter, and it may not even have a pollen filter.

    EDIT: I'd go with AudiChris.. either let the mechanic pick them up, or ask him specifically what to get.

    Unless they are NGK Platinums, which last for 60k miles.
