Good for you. I think it is completely safe to say the vast majority of
car
owners do whatever maintenance is specified by the owners manual or less,
not more. If it is all that im****tant, the manufacturer would have
specified something.
I'm talking about maintenance religiously conducted according to
manufacturer's recommendations, no more, no less. If you follow the books
to the letter, Honda requires more upkeep than Nissan does.
