Good point, I was going to mention oil changes...

I'd probably only do 2 oil changes per year assuming about 26,000 miles per year. Highway miles are easy, and I've gone 13,000 miles between changes in the Prius and oil analysis always said it had more life left.

I buy synthetic when it's on sale and stock up. Same with filters. One nice thing is my CBR600 motorcycle uses the same filter as my Acura TSX.
