I use Mobil1 10w-40 non energy consuming & change oil+filter every 8k miles.

First differential oil change. Used Mobil1 75w-90.

Cleaned original air filter. Gas mileage has remained @ 45 mpg + - for entire 23k miles using tire pressure of 42psi F&R.

Many go to 60-70K....without any valves being out of tolerance. I'm gonna wait for a TECH Day and do mine at 60K. I'll report then. Runs great, 44 MPG. Never misses a beat. I'm not a high rev'r. A '06-bought new.

Think how good you'll feel when it's your engine not someone else's.

I had valves inspected at 16, 32, 48 and 64, never one out of spec. Didn't bother after that.
