Agree on oil & filter at around 5k miles. I use 5W-40 Motul 300V and LN Engineering's spin-on filter adapter.

My Dunlop 9090s got 20k at the rear and the fronts are still good at almost 30. And 5-6 years is about it for safe tires regardless of tread.

The tires are not as sticky as the PS2s which seem to be the consensus favorite, but they have been berry, berry good to me.

No track, but spirited driving is not uncommon.

Edit: And brake fluid very two years, altho I recently noticed that my Bentley manual says Porsche changed to recommending it every three.
