100k mile club :-D

I was actually wondering since my car just hit 99,001 I was wondering if maybe someone could give me some ideas on what I should do to make sure my car is straight at 100 - like a 100k mile service what should I doo?

Start expecting O2 sensors, coilpacks, and MAFS to go out. Struts also.

after 100k i changed, some O2 sensors, axles, tie rods ends, and will change spark plugs soon. I also cleaned my MAF with that spray for $6, there's a thread here some place, that helped a lot, and throttle body clean if you want. I'd consider getting a ground kit if you dont already have one, it makes the idle sooo much smoother.

there are preventive maintenance tips in your manual I believe. Just look at what it tells you the dealer "will do when you take it in" at 100K and see what needs work ..

137,600 here. Put 23,700 miles on my car in less than 11 months!

Replaced a thermostat, bank 1 rear O2 sensor, radiator and bank 1 camshaft position sensor. I had a wheel bearing go out but that appeared to be a reassmbly problem (lock nut had backed off) rather than a reliability issue with car. Changed front brake pads due to a grinding noise the pads already on the car were making. Other than that, just regular oil and ATF changes.

I consider brakes to be part of maintenance, just like oil, tires, etc.
