94 E420 -Serice items at 100k miles?

Folks,

I'm about to hit 100k miles on my 94 E420. Here are a list of service items I've completed (or am about to):

Brake fluid flush
Trans fluid flush and filter change
Engine Oil change
Rear end fluid change
New plugs
New caps and rotors
New brake pads and rotors
Power steering pump leaking, so I'll need to address that shortly.

Anything else I should consider?

FYI... wiring harness has already been replaced.

Thanks!

Filters

I'd replace air and fuel filter too. Also check the HVAC filters (2) near the wiper. These can get loaded with crap - especially during pollen season.

Technically, there is no 100,000 mile service on your car.

All the fluids are flushed at 30,000 mile intervals, except for the brake fluid and radiator coolant, which are replaced at time intervals instead of mileage intervals: brake fluid every 2 years and radiator coolant every 3 years.

There is no replacement schedule for the power steering fluid, although many people do it.

Fuel filters are replaced at 60,000 mile intervals.

Having said that though, if you have no record of any maintenance items not being done at 90,000 miles, I'd do everything.

I also didn't see spark plugs in your list, and you should never use anything but the recommended Bosch plugs and change them every 30,000 miles.

Yup, I just replaced my plugs which were purchased at the dealership.

Will do cabin filters also.

Fuel filter is about is about 35k old.

Oh yea... just did the strut mounts as well.
