I am old enough to remember when new cars required oil changes, new filter, and lube every 3 months or 3,000 miles. Belts and hoses lasted 2 years if you were lucky. You were doing well to get 20,000 miles out of a set of bias-ply tires.
Minimal service expenses at 8,000 mile/12 month intervals is a luxury. My advice: Don't skimp on maintenance.
