The only other thing (I'm not counting oil changes and stuff) would be to check the additive level in your coolant. The additive prevents cavitation that can lead to pin holes in the block cylinder walls. The level is checked using test strips that are available.

Coolant Test Strips
(Fleetguard) CC6202 (50)
(Fleetguard) CC2602A (four strips)
(Fleetguard) CC2602B (one strip)

Don't buy a pack of 50 since they do have about a year-long shelf life. Cheers!
