Just regular maintenance. Check oil every time you put gas in it.

Here is a thread I started a while back about break-in times. Lots of good info: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/what-your-opnions-break-times-rebuilds-735238/

Other than that, religiously check the oil and coolant, preferably before you start the car every time. Low coolant and oil are the biggest killers.
