1. I can't stress enough, to read your Owner's Manual.
2. The engine oil is a basic fluid but do not forget the
others. You will be inundated with all kinds of influences
from all types to change your oil every three to five
thousand miles or three months - whichever comes first. You
have options:
See www.lubedealer.com/hiebert for superior engine and
drive train lubricants and related car care product
options. Superior air and oil filters also fits into this
paragraph. 
3. In the above paragraph, I mention other fluids. This
includes the transmission fluid, whether automatic or
manual, use your manual to keep this aspect current because
its repair is the largest possible expense. 
4. Use superior interior products to keep the leather and
vinyl in optimum condition. Superior car polish will keep
the depth and shine of the exterior finish protected from
the elements with a minimum of washing and fuss.
