Ditto what the others said. Definitely do autocross and track.
Don't buy race tires, just drive it on your street tires. That's what you will drive the car on the other 99% of the time, so you will get more experience driving with those tires at their limits, which will help you if you get into an emergency maneuver in real life. Learn to drive your car as fast as it can go before you spend $$$ on go-fast upgrades.
Don't worry about the engine. Keep it below the redline and it will be fine. Oil temperature: You have a temp gauge, so watch it and if it gets to 240+ then slow down or bring it into the paddock. If you still have concerns about the engine, take an oil sample and have it analyzed (I use Blackstone Labs). No need to change the oil for a track day.
Brake fluid: If it's more than 6 months old, change it just before your first track event (don't worry about AX, as your brakes won't get hot enough).
Go have fun, and remember, "it's more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow."

Cars are for driving. If you want art, get something you can hang on the wall!
