Oil boiler maintenance

I had a new oiler boiler put in about 5 years ago.  The boiler runs fine, however, I have not had any maintence done it since installation. What type of regular maintenance should be done on an oil fired boiler? -System is a 2 pipe, cast iron, cast iron hydronic radiators. -DHW coil.
