I have 116K on the clock and since I had my engine apart for alternator my indy put in new belt and tensioner. I also had extensive suspension work, just happened to all fall around 115K. So I went ahead and did a DIY 120K service in my driveway:

- AT fluid (three times)
- brake fluid
- power steering fluid
- air filter
- spark plugs
- cleaned/degreased TB
- coolant temp sensor (acting up)
- fuel filter (bear of a job! rusted bolts)
- wash/wax w/zaino
- Zaino Z10 leather in a bottle for that new car leather smell
- extraction of carpets w/ little green bissell thing

It took me a few weekends of on/off work but I'm ready for the final burn past 120K to 160K knock on wood.

I refuse to do the cabin filter, had it done last year, air smells fine, really back breaking, arm nicking miserable work. :)
