100,000 mile info please
I'm at 91k. Are there any things I need to be aware of at the 100,000 mark. Typical problems, or suggestions on how to keep the car running beautifully for another 100k? Thanks my friends and hope the new year is still going well!!

Basically over all maintenance of the car when it was young is what helps out here in the long run. Just have your normal maintenace looked over and performed for that mileage.
Myself, I would check over the car and go over nuts bolts etc, all fluids, belts, hoses, lube what is necessary and drive it for another 100K.

time for a good checkup. Change the air filter- or clean the K&N, clean the throttle body, new plugs and wires, fuel filter, all the fluids- radiator, oil, steering, trans and diff. Check the hoses and belts- maybe time for new ones. Check the suspension and lube it. How's the tires and alignment? Don't forget to wash n wax - cause its your baby!
