Welcome to the list and where are you located?  I think the best thing to
do is follow the bentley scheduled maintenance chart when you pick one up.
The main advice I've got is, use OEM parts.  You can get sometimes get
cheaper parts at the chain stores but they are cheap only because they are
crap generally.  Nothing beats the German stuff- Bosch etc.
