check under the hood for red coolant stains indicating a leaking watre pump every 6 months.

grease battery terminals with wheel bearing grease.

clean leaves and debris on air intake under the hood for interior air intake

manual oil change unnecessary at your interval

valve clearance interval 60k miles. Probably not needed either.


your coolant change interval is too often. see owners manual.

have interior of car cleaned twice a year and car washed four times a year.

Otherwise sounds excellent!

thanks for the response. I was trying to find info regarding the red coolant recommended change vs the super long life pink. The best I could find is that red is good for 30,000 miles and pink for 50,000 miles. I figured i'd rather play it safe, that being said I'd rather stretch out the interval is safe to do so.
