Your maintenance schedule looks good, but only changing the oil every 2 years or 12,000 miles concerns me. The oil should be changed at a minimum annually, and while the owners manual says 15k miles, I think most people would agree a 3k-6k oil change schedule is much better for the engine.

Thx, I know I'm a little lazy on the oil change schedule, but it's what the factory recommends, so I'm at least not diverging. Lol
