head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, differential fluid (probably more often than 100k).

dont forget the grease zirks in your steering system, U-joints, etc. i check those every 6 months (probably should more often).

much more than i can think of right now.

Replacing gaskets as a maintenance item???

You'll cause more problems than you fix if you do that.


Just change whatever needs changing. If a fluid looks bad, change it. If it's been a while balance and rotate the tires and look into changing your timing belt.

Other than that I'm not a big fan of the "at XXXX miles do this" type of crap. Fix what needs fixing.

Hahahahaha...
How much do you think replacing all those gaskets will cost??

Pretty much the cambelt and the water-pump is all you should really be worried about.

Timing belt. Every 100k miles or so, change t. Because if that breaks, you're fucked.

You change those when they need to be changed.
