Not with what you're doing.
My experience - use synthetic oil.
I had a '93 Dodge Spirit - 4 cyl - went 195,000 miles - at about 150,000 miles, a valve guide worked loose and I had the timing belt done. The transmission wouldn't go out of 1st gear at 195,000 - I never had the transmission touched (I don't advise that) but engine was still strong.
No wheel bearings done, replaced rear shocks only, but oil changed every 5,000 miles w/Mobil 1.
If you do what you have planned, you should get a lot of life out of it.
I spotted this on another PT forum about gas octane:
"Just wanted to add, my '02 NA has run nothing but 87 octane. At 156,000 miles it still runs great. Ditto my wife's '02 with over 95,000 miles."
