well, I will tell my maintenance habits...

Bi weekly timing check.
Weekly air check.
Synthetic oil change (Castrol 10-30 full syn) every 5-6K.
K&N clean out every other month.
Plug check every month.
Mustang accell plug wires.
Timing at 12* Had to adjust about twice a year.
Alignment check/done every 6 months.
I had a set of tires last literally 4 1/2 years.

Just a few things that kept it running happily for that long.
