Do oil changes every 3000 miles.
Be sure your ignition components are good or you could get misfires and ruin your catalytic converter if you have one.
Misfires kill cats
Bad cats kill engines.

Keep a close eye on your cooling system as well. If possible, monitor Temps with an OBD2 tool. The stock temp gauge is useless.
