ok. I was just thinking about coolant and oil mostly. I figured with all the upgrades and stuff I have done now and the hp increase, that meant more stress on everything which should mean the maintenance schedule should get tighter.
I think I'll just stick to that schedule but watch things closer and make sure everything stays fresh.
