Default 08 IS250 AWD just cleared 100,000 miles - any maintenance needed?

Hi Everyone,

I just passed 100,000 miles on my car. I had it new since July 2008. So I put about 25,000 miles on my car'/year, mostly highway.

I am methodical about maintenance and purchased the maintenance plan up to 50,000 miles from Lexus so had all that service done. After, still do all my oil changes as Lexus. They report my car is in great shape.

They recommended that I get new spark plugs though. Any other things I should be doing to help my car now that it's over 100,000? Just want to make sure I keep it in good shape. First time having a car over 100,000 miles and with marriage, a house, and hopefully a baby in the coming years, I want to drive this thing as long as I can.

Thanks!

Spark plugs, rear and front diff fluid, coolant. That's all I can think of.

I think a 2012 headlights upgrade is required

hahaha MY2012 headlights. I wish, if they didn't lose the AFS feature.

Looks like the 120k mile service will cover most of the things mentioned:

1) LOF
2) Brake Fluid
3) Air Filter
4) Spark Plugs
5) Transmission Fluid
6) AC Filter
7) Differential Oil

I can probably just have them do the coolant as well.

Obviously much cheaper if I go to a local shop than the dealer no? Shouldn't like Jiffy Lube be able to do all of that except maybe spark plugs?
