Fuel Filter

Oil and oil filter
Plugs
Fuel filter
Coolant

Clean the filter if you already have a K&N
Check the Dizzy cap and rotor button and replace if necessary. Same with the plugs and wires I suppose.

Maybe just do a check of things like tyres, suspension bushings, worn shocks and sagging springs.

Can't think of anything else right now.

not much, but be sure the filter has the valve Mazda rotary filters need - they get put upside down in relation to other filters, and the oil could drain out when parked without the valve - leading to oil starvation on startup
