Just turned 200k....what now?

[AZCamry]

2000 LE V6 AT. Just turned 200k, goal is 300 which I will see in 3 years. Other than the typical wear items, what should I look to replace? The only thing done so far has been timing belts and water pump (during belt change). Tranny has about 120k, was replaced with a low milage used unit when I hit a rock on my commute (cracked the case). I'm thinking items like fuel pump, wheel bearings, struts, etc....

my commute: 80 miles one way, all but 5 miles is at 75mph. Oil (Valvoline Max Life 5W30)changed religiously at 5k miles, and it always looks fresh, never looses any between changes. Consistant 27-28 mpg.

You know what I find funny, people say change oil at 5k. However no units are specified. In our metric country(Canada) we changef every 5000km, while the imperial countries(US) go for every 5000miles. Just an interesting observation.

You can probably push it out to 8000 km (~5000miles) without any problems like AZCamry. 5000 miles is the suggested interval for severe driving conditions.

Is the suggested oil change interval for your car 5000km or do you do that out of habit?

[EvoFire]

habit thing, and my mechanic says 5000km too. I'm also slightly burning oil so I'm not arguing.

Even if I get a new car, I'll probably be doing 5000km oil changes.

Any toughts? Didn't mean to start a discussion re: oil changes...still looking for suggestions on the not so obvious items that might start giving me trouble during the next 100k...

thanks!
