I did all the above in my 90K except the filter for the reason stated above.

I wish our oil lube prices were as low in the UK as you guys seem to enjoy
Not sure when the recommended service interval is for the fuel filter, but seeing as how important fuel delivery is to performance I would think by 100k it would be a good idea.

I plan to change mine every 60k, guess I am just paranoid about fuel delivery from owning turbo cars that go boom when they lean out.
