I think changing spark plugs every 30K miles is better.

Intake air filter is due at 60K miles. There will be a lot of little stones, sand and leaves caught up in there. I used a vacuum cleaner on my air box.

Is there a way to "reset" these items? I know spark plug, microfilter, engine air filter are not listed in the service menu, so when I change them I just make a note of it but it's annoying because if I have to bring my car in the dealership always tells me they need to be replaced.
