Read the long thread and look for replies by Edycol. He is an expert whose advice can be trusted. Read…do not PM him unless absolutely necessary.

For “premium quality” maintenance do things at half the factory interval, maximum. That means engine oil every 5K, plugs every 15K, rear diff and transfer case every 25K, brake fluid every 30K, coolant and trans oil every 50K, and O2 sensors at 75K miles. The coolant, ZF8 trans, and transfer case are listed as Lifetime fluids, so I took a little personal judgement there. Brakes, rotors, spark coils, injectors, and engine bearings are all only-as-needed.

If you run E85 fuel change engine oil every 2K. I just dump and fill the oil, and let the dealership do the filter changes every 10K.
