Replaced both front calipers. Cleaned injectors every 30k as also IAC.

I am glad to hear reports about those that crossed the 200k threshold.
With 183k on the clock, I am getting close. I have done about the same repair/maintenance items that you have done. But I am on my original o2 sensors! I need to do my door actuators this summer.

Thanks guys.
She still purrs like a kitten. Oil consumption is about 1/2 quart every 5k on Synthetic 5w30.
Forgot about the door lock actuators : Drivers and rear driver side had replacement motors put in.
We all know how much these things are if bought as an assembly new.

Congratulations on this achievement.
Oddly enough, I celebrate a certain achievement today with my RX300.
Ten years ago today, January 26, 2002 was the day I bought my RX300 at a used car dealer (actually it was a Saturn dealer) in Northern Virginia. One week later, I was in Mexico for over 6 years.

I bought it used in July 2010 It had about 203,000 miles on it.
I change the transmission fluid every 7-8k with only Toyota T-IV.
I recently changed the differential fluid with Royal Purple Synthetic gear lube.
I had new tires, brakes , shocks, and struts put on when I got it in 2010.
The fuel pump went out today after I got the motor oil changed. It's been getting approx. 20.6 MPG.

I'll just add a post here for my uncle, as he's not a member of the forum.

I bought my 2001 RX300 FWD new in June 2001 and now have 206k. Original transmission. I've recently changed both AF sensors and PCV valve (1st time). Also all new brakes & tires. MPG since new tires has been in the 20.5 - 21.5 range. Sitting on 21mpg at this moment. I've been running premium 93 octane mostly for years and was getting 22.5 & better at times on the old set of tires last summer. Used synthetic 5-30w Mobil or Castrol since 40k, changed every 10k. It is really running like new now with the new brakes & tires. Ahhhh....
