Keep an eye out for excessive oil consumption, as this may necessitate prompt oil changes. Remember to replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, change the coolant every 60,000 miles, and swap out spark plugs every 100,000 miles, unless they are copper. For copper spark plugs, replacement is recommended every 30,000 miles or so.
