I just simply turn off the AC and run fan-only about a half-mile before I get to my destination. Amazing how well it works.

I simply let the car tell me, which is usually around 3,500 mi. (or about a year).
So far that's even more often than your 5K proposal.
I track my car 4/5 days per year.

No 1LE "verts"
Your antenna isn't just in your trunk-lid, it's actually in your spoiler, so unless you use an alternate style of antenna, you're going to lose comms.

You don't have a warranty. If you've got 65,000 miles on the car, even if the engine were bone-stock, it's simply out of warrantee because you have more than 50,000 miles on it.

They whining you hear, is the belt drive. Since an SS doesn't have one, you won't year a whine until you add a belt-driven supercharger.

The guy you "heard" this from may have been overweight.
