this has been well documented. When I first got the max I was a lil hesitant to always put high octane...but the more you read about the engine, and even in the owners manual, you will want to take good care of such a great engine. For something that is such an investment, that states it requires high octane gas....there is no room for skimping. Certain engines are built to burn different levels of gas.

You should check your PCV valve every 30k - you may as well replace it though, as it only costs $3.
Fuel filter every 30k too.
Fluids - Engine oil, Trannie fluid, brake, power steering, clutch (if 5spd), coolant.
