The maintenance you suggest is the same as "old school" maintenance for BMWs. My complaint is a thermostat that only lasts 9 months and 9,000 miles. That's ridiculous.
A company like Zionsville Autosport needs to hand make thermostats and sell them for $75 with a ten year, 100,000 mile warranty. Sort of like the EMP Stewart coolant pump for BMWs - a cottage industry for improvements on the factory parts. There needs to be a way to avoid garbage cheapo parts from third world suppliers. The problem is the demand is too low.
