Is there anything else I need to maintain since its been a while since the car was driven? I know I probably will change the oil and see if some fluids need to be refilled. Thanks

I would drain the gasoline out of the tank as well, refill the tank with premium fuel. Change the oil (8.5 quarts of Mobil 0-40 weight) and Mann filter (fleece) before you start that car. This is based upon the car sitting for 2 years, regardless of any previous or current condition. Get a new battery!
