Cabin Air Filter:

Every 10,000 to 15,000 miles (16,000 to 24,000 km) or annually.

Spark Plugs Gasoline:

Platinum or Iridium plugs typically require replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles (96,000 to 160,000 km).

Coolant Replacement:

First replacement around 5 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km), then every 2-5 years or 30,000-60,000 miles (48,000-96,000 km).
