Preventative Maintenance

[tmontague]

I'm curious as to what you all do for preventative maintenance on your cars. I want to make sure I'm covering all bases so my Yaris can run as long as possible on the salt covered road of Southern Ontario.

I currently do the following:

-Remove and re-install control arm bolts and cover in grease
-Oil and filter change every 8,000km w/ synthetic oil
-brake service ever year (re lube slider pins, clean pads and rotate pads if necessary)
-Replace MTF every 2 years w/ synthetic ~40,000km
-coolant flush and fill w/ Toyota Red every 2 years~40,000km
-Spray bolts and rust prone parts on underbody ever 6 months with an anti rust compound
-inspect and clean PCV valve every year
-bleed brakes every year
-bleed clutch every year and lube pivot points
-check valve shim clearance every 40,000km
-wax car every 6 months

that's what I've been doing so far with good results. Anything else I could do that doesn't cost a crazy amount of money? The salted roads wreak havoc on the cars down here and after my first car (Hyundai Accent) was a pain to work on due to every bolt being seized underneath it I learned my lesson and any bolt I remove gets sprayed with an anti rust compound before re-installing.
