Oxygen Sensors - when they fail (check engine light), not disabling.

Fuel filter - mine was changed once, maybe 60K service (currently 105K).

PVC valve - not that I know of unless during 60K service.

Spark plug wires - not a normal maintenence item because coils are on spark plugs (copper, not carbon core wires).

Rotors - I do high speed autocross, so I replaced my original front rotors at about 90K, because they started getting surface cracks and rust in center venting which reduced cooling.

I would change the fuel filter at 15K "miles" if they get plugged it's good bye to your fuel pump. And because they protect the injectors they are much finer in micron media size then the old fuel filters of the Carb. days. ronm =========

When the check engine light tells you to.

When its clogged.

Inspect every 30,000 (severe schedule). I am assuming that this is included in the "Vapor lines" item.

It doesn't have any. There is a coil mounted above each plug.

Only when warped or damaged beyond service limits.

Basically, none of these things are scheduled maintenance items. You should be changing the fluids and filters periodically (oil, air cleaner, transmission fluid, antifreeze). The plugs are platinum - change every 60,000 miles. There is not a lot to do to keep this car running.
