If maintaining the vehicle at a hundred thousand mile is the same as maintaining the vehicle any other time, then why did you make this video and waste our time!!

Well there some other things you need to check: Prolly need to check your timing belt, transmission fluid, check spark plugs, do a coolant reflush (not just check the level), brake fluid is ususally very dirty at this many miles miles and check all your belts.

@halflife103o You can check your spark plugs by removing one of them and see how dirty they are or what shape is in. There are charts everywhere that tell you the condition of the spark plug for example if its coated in oil means bad valves or really brown there is too much in the spark spug, etc.. If one of them its bad, you can assume the others are probably the same,

@rleorod how exactly would you check spark plugs on a car?. I mean, i have done it on Snowmobiles and lawnmowers. But never thought about a car.
