NC 1.8 question

Morning all,
Following our recent 2007 NC 1.8 purchase, I’ve read several posts about the 1.8 engine’s fragility. Given that these cars can require using all the revs for spirited driving I’m a little concerned.
I’m aware of keeping the oil on the upper mark of the dipstick, but are there any other things I need to keep on top of? And is this the prime reason for the engine issues or is it something else?
Photo included for no other reason than I like it :slight_smile:
