"Also, like I've heard other S6's do, my HVAC fan is
starting to squeak and I can't remember what the fix
was."

Greg,
As always, first you have to drop the transmission.
That said;
(IIRC)  Remove the two screws that hold the temp. probe on the drivers
side of the fan housing.
 From here you can see blower fan.  I sprayed in some Kroil lubricant
using the extender with the tip angled back toward the blower motor
shaft.  I also drilled a tiny hole in the plastic housing where I
guessed the motor brushes might be and sprayed a little in there too,
but this would be unnecessary if step one fixes the squeak.   WD 40
would work too..  at least temporarily.
This fix has lasted almost two years now, takes 15 minutes and costs zilch.
HTH.  YMMV.
