Default High Mileage Owners

Question for the high mileage owners out there, what should I be looking to maintenance for our cars once you've reached the 120k range? My wife will be DD the car, mainly highway 3-4 times a week averaging 120 mile each days. Car hasn't been driven in over 6 months because of the air bag recall. The last thing that was fixed on the car was rear struts aside from that everything is still original. We're trying to extend the life of the car for a couple of more years while paying off the family car.

2008
IS 250

Thanks in advance

Is the air bag recall for your vehicle Passenger side or Drivers side? If it's passenger side for your vehicle then you should be able to driver it alone safely.

-Fuel Cleaner-several tanks.
-Synthetic Oil
-Flush and Fill Coolant
-Flush and Fill Brake System
-Transmission Oil refresh or Flush
-Drain and fill Rear Differential
-Clean Throttle Body
-Change out Air and Cabin Filter
-Test Battery and Alternator
-Replace Spark Plugs
-Install Oil Catch Can

Check owners manual for anything I may have missed.
