He means the PS fluid and brake fluid.
New spark plugs are prolly a good idea as well.
Get help with the brake fluid if you've never done it before.
PS fluid, many people just use a turkey baster or pump of some kind to remove however much they can get out of the reservoir and replace with new fluid, others do a complete fluid change, like the guy in the post below.

Yup. I use a turkey baster -- I usually suck everything out the reservoir, fill it and repeat every couple of days. When my quart of PS fluid is gone I consider the job done. Good enough for me 
OK thanks. I've owned the car since 8/07 but since finding BITOG I want to maintain it as well as I possibly can.
Does Walmart have good fluids for the transmission such as Rotella brand?
Brake fluid can be used in the PS if I'm not mistaken.

Transmission fluid can replace PS fluid. brake fluid is only for the master cylinder.
Trans fluid for sure. Upgrade to Redline or Amsoil.
And flush the brakes with new fluid.
A turkey baster flush of the PS is a great idea.
At 7 years old, consider a battery. Start looking for sales. You can go longer, but why not get it before it gets you?

NO, Brake fluid can be used in the brake system only (and may be in the clutch of manual transmission), never use brake fluid in anything else.

And don't mess with the A/C until it breaks and/or you know what you are doing. Too much freon is just as bad as too little.
