[GoinAllTheWay]

Lots of good info in this thread.

I'm a huge proponent of following maintenance schedules. They're in your manual for a reason.

On top of that, oil changes on schedule. Preferably early, preferably with a good quality synthetic oil. Yes, it costs more but in our climate, worth it. Get quality oil and air filters (I like Wix).

Treat your carpet with respect. Best thing I ever bought was a Bissel Pro spot cleaner. You can buy soft, circular brushes you put on power drills (I think battery powered drills here are better as they don't spin as fast as the plug in type). Get a decent shampoo and spray down your carpets. Hit em with the power drill with the brush and then rinse with the Bissel. With the crap we drag into our interiors during the winter, they keep your carpet looking fantastic.

Also love Aerospace 303. Fantastic product.

Spending a bit of money on a car vacuum is also a good idea. Totally forget which one I bought but has a nice long power cable, long hose and good attachments. Insane power. Really gets the dirt out.
