Well my baby has reached a mile-stone in her career on the road! My 1990 maxima has finally hit 100k miles. Does anyone have information as to what I can do to help maintain my car? Not just like oil changes and stuff, I mean like is there a 100k mile service that needs to be done? Its my first car and I got her w/ 94k on her so I'm not too keen on what needs to be done? Any information would be greatly appreciated, I'm also a poor college student so I dont have a ton of cash either!!

Replace the *()*&^*&^%*(&%%^#$ exhaust studs before they break.

Change the timing belt and water pump. If you have done that already change the tranny fluid, stick or automatic, it is time. Check that the radiator has good flow, if not replace it with at double core radiator. Check under the hood frequently for any thing that is leaking. Switch to synthtic oil if you have not done so already. Check threads on which oil filters to use when the search fuction is back. Run a/c once a month to help oil the compressor.

165,000 miles and going for 330,000+

Congrads you have just finished the break-in period. VGs last forever if you just do what was mentioned above (change oil regularly, timing belt + w.pump every 60K, ect). Whats the crying about its still practically brand new when it comes to mileage.
