Service B?
It’s time for Service B2 and I changed my oil, oil filter and the air filters. What else should I do? My car is well over 100,000 miles so how often should I change my oil? When should I change my brake disk?
Thanks for the help.

Depends how much you willing to spent on your ride.
from my experience, i don't believe to go for service when the car told me to especially consider our ride have lots of sensors.
it actually makes life easier as a guide line but we need to understand more on what we driving and where is our $$$ dump to.
for me if the service oil is for 10000km due but stated in the car was 12000km for next service. i will change it at the most around 8000-9000km. unless i feel that the car is less power i might change the engine oil plus filter a lot earlier say about 5k-6k.
transmission oil i suggest to change it every 10000km service if possible.
but for more smooth & gentle driver, its better to change it around 30000km.
i been doing this for the past few years when i have my Japan turbo engine with every 3000km done i will do a full service.
PS: Do not follow exactly what the dealer told you or some C&C crazy guy (Although they call themselves professional)
You can only use it as guide line but i would prefer to change the parts as early possible which was suggested by them.
For the brake rotor you need to drive to shops and have it check , if wear can be seen , better to change aftermarket or upgrade to bigger brakes.
