Heavy duty commuter recommended maintenance?

I've got a 2017 Cruze LT RS...and I also commute 180 miles a day, 5 days a week. That's about 45k miles a year. That being said, I'm not exactly car savvy and my dealer is hit or miss in terms of maintenance recommendations.

I'm at 66k now and I last did a bigger maintenance run at 45k (basic level, transmission fluid change, etc). My manual says to replace the spark plugs at 60k.

If I want this beauty to last until I pay her off (another 4 years and 150k or more miles) should I be preparing for some epic maintenance or just keep steady on timely oil changes and follow the manual?

Thanks in advance for anyone who comments in on this.

With my long distance “commutes” it’s all about range.

Just did an 800 mile round trip this week in the CTD without refueling and still show over 100 miles DTE.

Diesel’s expensive so the CTD can’t compete w/gassers & hybrids on cost. But not having range-anxiety transiting vast desolate expanses of Arizona desert is totally worth it in my situation.
