Other than the following - what should I do at 100k?

oil / filter
air filter
timing belt
belt tensioner
tensioner spring
water pump
thermostat
plugs / wires

 

Ha I just hit 100k as well. My struts are shot from being on trd springs for 50k. Just ordered TRD struts, Braille 15 lb battery, new intake filter, and soon new NGK iridium laser spark plugs

Hmmm what else

 

we're not on belts, we have timing chains

 

and i would add transmission fluid flush and coolant flush

 

Is the water pump, and thermostat something that should be changed At a certain mileage or only when there is a problem

 

uhhh we dont have wires lol...i changed out my plugs at 65k

 

First get yourself some isopropal alcohol, que-tips, pipe-cleaners, all purpose cleaner (i recommend simple green), some shop rags (clean ones), fabric cleaner, all your car tools, lots of floor space, a workbench and plenty of spare time cause it's time to do a complete tear-down, clean out and rebuild!



I just kidding..

 

Water pumps only need to be changed out if they fail, almost the same thing for thermostats. I wouldn't worry about either if you're not over heating or having heat issues.

 

if you changing the water pump and coolant, might as well replace the radiator hoses too.

 

So do the chains need to be changed like belts do?

 

No, hoses only need to be changed if they are severely cracked and brittle. No need wasting money.

No, the chains only need to be replaced when they break which is rare, hence why a chain driven timing system is optimal. A lot less wear.

 

exactly =) it should last the life of your engine... usually lol

 

I have 6000 miles to go for my 100,000 mile mark, my self i have done every 5000 miles, Oil Change Full Synthetic, Air filter, Oil filter, spark plugs, tire rotation.
So at my 100,000 mile marker i will be doing a Trainy flush as well as the coolant and Belt.
Am i missing something

 

Wait, every 5000 miles you change your SPARK PLUGS? WTF? OVERKILL

 

lol how you figure its an overkill?
the way i see it, spark plugs aren't expensive and the car runs much better.
my friend its a mechanic and owns his shop and one day i ask him to change the oil for me because i had no time, i always do my own 5000 mile maintenance, unless its something major.
So he did the oil change, air filter, gas filter, oil filter and new spark plugs, so i asked him why the gas filter and sparks.
He said this, gas its not 100% clean if it was 100% clean all cars wouldn't need a gas filter, spark plugs burn up because they always sparking while the car is running there for constantly being fried at the tips, put new spark plugs and car will run better all the time.

And so that is why i have been doing it.
overkill maybe, but i do need the car to be at top shape so that it can last me another 100,000 or until the 3rd generation XB comes along

 

Definitely overkill. Iridium plugs last 100k changing them every 5k is a waste of time and money

 

Our Iridium plugs are 6.99 a piece, not cheap? Plus Iridium spark plugs are a 100K mile maintenance item. Meaning around 100K miles you should change them. Your "mechanic friend" doesn't seem very reliable if he's telling you to change them so often. Heck even back in the day with copper plugs you'd only change them MAYBE once a year. Obviously not all gas is "clean", but thats why all cars have fuel filters. Fuel filters are even a 100K item or more. And the entire point of a spark plug is to spark or "fire" when the car is on. They will only fire when told to.

Your story is WAY overkill man. Save yourself money and not change them for a long time.

 

Dude i have a ____ ton of miles on my car and only do my plugs every 90-100k or so. Every 5k is retarded. Im quite sure your just talking ____e

 

This forum is ___ btw for editing our ****

 

Really? I cant even say g@y?
