Routine maintenance

What do you do as far as routine maintainence is concerned.  Do you do more
or less than you owner’s manual recommends.  Specific examples would be
appreciated.

    I follow the owner’s manual religiously (ie. all recommended servicing
    is performed within 1000 km of the mileage mentioned in the book) and
    the service shop’s recommended _regular_ servicing not at all.  So
    this means that when my car goes in for work, I have a list of items
    that gets done.  No more, no less.

    However, if the shop finds something unusual, I’ll usually trust their
    judgement.  It’s a risk, I know, but I don’t know enough to dispute
    their claims.
