Oil every 3k plugs once a year tire pressure 36-40 psi whatever you like the best. And have fun no other things needed to make it to 100,000 miles

I changed mine and the filter the first time around 600 miles and every 5,000 miles or so since then have changed it and the filter with Amsoil full synth.  My 06 now has over 60,000 and uses maybe a half cup when I change it.  Very good oil for a very good engine.  The tranny shifts better too.  Congrats on your new ride!

Yes to all that, especially the shifting. I was using Golden Spectro, which is synthetic blend, AmZoil costs only a little more but works a lot better.
