Crawl under the car and bond with your vehicle. I'm 56 years old and still do it and know it's done right.
My car will only see dealer service when it's time for tranny & differential fluid changes or a radiator flush or brake/clutch or power steering fluid changes.
Not much else to do for the first 100K miles.
Spend your money on gas, good booze and women instead.

Amen

K&N HP-1008 (or -1010 for a compatible longer filter option) is also basically identical to the above-mentioned M1 110 filter. The filter review guys say they're actually made identically at the same factory, just branding and labeling differences. The K&N version is very slightly more expensive, but they put a little sheet metal nut on the end that makes it super easy to remove them, which I'm a fan of.
