Here's the list of recommended preventative maintenance. My dad would say none of it is necessary, but I lack confidence in his opinion seeing as his cars don't tend to last.
Blue Service ($228): Not sure what it includes, because I can't find any information anywhere online.
Mass Air Flow Sensor Service ($60).
Service Throttle Body ($60).
HVAC Evaporator Cleaning Service ($80).
The last two I know I will need soon, including tires ($590) and an alignment ($85).
All of the comments say Preventative Maintenance.
Opinions please? I want this car to last a solid 10-15 years, or as long as possible.
By the way, I live in Phoenix, where the HVAC is important. And I drive 60 miles a day, 9 months of the year, so it already has 35K miles on it.
BLUE SERVICE:
Replace Engine Oil
Replace Dual Stage Oil Filter
Transmission service (R&R pan, clean screen-magnets, replace gasket, change diff. fluid)
Lube Chassis (if applicable)
Clean & Adjust Rear Brakes (if applicable)
Adjust/Tighten Parking Brake
Rotate Tires
Multi-point Inspection
Replace Air Filter
Inspect Timing
Scope and adjust to factory specs. (as necessary)
Inspect/adjust EFI system
Replace spark plugs (as required - additional cost)
Replace Coolant
Pressure-check cooling system
Adjust V-drive belts
Inspect hoses
