Re: wanna make 'er last: anything extra I should be doing?
I agree with the above advice. Synthetic oil is worth the extra money. I change mine every 5,000 miles.
If you have an auto, have it flushed and refilled with ATF + 4 - should be done every 50,000 miles.
Plan on having the timing belt and water pump changed at about 100,000 miles.
Throw the stock ignition wires out and get good ones, like Cranes, and change plugs at the same time - set at 0.040.
I plan on keeping mine, too - only reason I traded my '02 was to get a turbo.
