120k Maintenance for 05 SE

I am approaching the 120k mark with my Maxima so far so good no major problems no transmission issues or anything for now, but what do you guys suggest that I change on it at 120k, at 105 I had plugs and coolant changed, what are all the important parts that should be changed to prevent future problems. Thanks for the help in advance.

I waited till 150k to change my starter and alternator so you got a ways to go. Check your belts and all rubber hoses. When I did my alternator I found the oil cooler assembly was getting bad and replaced it. Check your radiator hoses and other rubber coolant hoses carefully. Also how are your struts?

struts are holding up fine, no issue with them for now... forgot to mention all belts were replaced at 105k, alright thanks, I heard that on the 05 se, cam sensor goes out and it takes a few cranks to start, have you had any issues like that?

One of my cam sensors went around 100k. Engine light will go on and your car will go into fail safe mode. Hard start and will barely move in gear once running. Get a OBD scanner and look up codes. I changed both as part of good practice.

That is about it. Check your struts again though. Can't see how they aren't shot. I just checked my exhaust when doing my starter looked good. Check for play in your lower ball joints.
