Well, I've only had the car for about 40K, but I knew the previous owner very well and have all the maintenance records.
Let's see...
2 Timing Belts and Water Pumps (preventative) @ 130 and 220K
Alternator, plugs/wires tuneup at 175K
Top end rebuild, fuel pump & filter @ 220K
Right control arm bushing, both stabilizer bar bushings, valve cover gasket, torque strut mount and both CV axles @ 290K
too many brake parts to list!
Next up is the left control arm bushing and the front wheel bearings - in a paycheck or two.
Oil and Filter every 3K with Good Ol' dino oil - mostly exxon mobil. NO extra additives (slick50 or otherwise)
I think thats all. I only use OEM Parts (as much as possible).
I never rev past 4000rpm, and keep it under 75. I get 24mpg with a 60/40 mix of city/highway miles.
I love this car.
Just turned over 300,000
. And people say that 4cyl motors don't last...
