Ahh, the chrome mystery is solved. Never changed that, but there is a current post about replacing with a black material.
So a few infreqent long trips. Change the oil and filter once a year!
Check the battery electrolyte level once a year.
Techron Contentrate once a year in with the cool fall weather.
Rotate tires two times a year I guess.
You should have a new serp belt by now, and a new idler pully on the tensioner. You have to watch for age in parts not in miles. Your DI cassette could act up soon. If you are keeping the vehicle for the long run, consider getting a new one for the trunk, in exchange for the failure plus tow truck 100 miles away from home.
If you run BCPR7ES11's and your plugs get dark, use BCPR6ES11's in the future. Gap to .035 and they will probably go for 2 years. There is a +/- tolerance spec for the gap. Setting to the .035" (in-spec) and letting that erode open towards the .039" nominal provides for better running life than starting at .039. Some can't see this as the manual says .039 and I am a heritic. So be it.
Your fuel filter might not do well going to the spec 100000 miles either. If you get cronic starting problems, change that early on as part of problem elimination.
