How often do you change the followings:
1. Air filter
2. Fuel filter
3. Spark Plugs
4. Pollen filter (the one on top of the battery)
Besides oil change every 10-15K KM, anything else?
I visit Montreal (from Toronto) every month which is 500 KM one-way. Should these trips "clean" out my spark plugs?

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
air filter = every 15,000 KM
Fuel Filter = every 60,000 KM
Spark Plugs = every 120,000 KM (while at it, might wanna have a look at the boots, and coils)
Pollen Filter = every 15,000 KM
I would recommend not to go all the way to 15,000 kms on the oil change....usually it comes out super black at that point....10,000 km is usually what I try to aim for....

1. 10,000km (very dusty here)
2. 50,000km
3. 100,000km
4. 10,000km (very dusty here)
Oil - 5,000km (tends to get a little warm here)

1. I understand that on top of the pollen filter (203-830-09-18), there is a dust filter (203-830-01-18) as well. Where is this dust filter?
2. I visit Montreal at least once a month and it's 500 KM one way. These frequent trips would have "cleaned" the spark plugs, right?

Nice marketing gimick but not ideal for performance.

No, not really. Light load highway cruising actually can cause more build up on the plugs than city driving. You can add fuel line cleaners but it isn't really needed, just change the plugs on a regular interval - I suggest 100,000km, this 166,000km (100,000miles) 'life' is BS.

I thought this kind of driving will clean the plugs.
