After 100,000 miles...

What should I do, maintenance wise? I've been doing:

regular oil changes
ATF changes every 30,000 miles
air filter cleaning
tire rotation
brake pad changes

Should I do something special (maintenance wise) since my Fit is at 101,000 miles now? Should I do a coolant flush? Brake fluid change? Any recommendations? I'm planning on doing my ATF change this weekend and I was wondering what else should I do since I'll be under the car already.

Thanks Dohctor, forgot about the spark plugs.

Dennis, yeah, I do a lot of miles as a courier. I bought my Fit with the sole intention of using it as my work car. I bought it January of 07 and as of now, I have 101,300 miles on it and still going strong. No problems whatsoever (knock on wood) except for the time my Fumoto valve opened while I was on the freeway. I ran the fit for about 5 minutes before noticing I was losing oil. The bimmer in my sig was sold a few months back when it hit 50k miles.

As for the coolant flush, do I just use the drain plug under the radiator? Will that also drain the coolant in the engine?

I cannot tell you about the coolant... at my job, i remove the plug at the rad, then i start the car and i plug a garden hose at the inlet and then i let it run 'till the water comes out clear!! :P

On my Mazda V6, you flush the rad and remove the water hose from the oil cooler and you're ok!!

Marko!!
