To be honest, whatever the dealer puts in it, every 5k ... I think it’s a semi synthetic

That's impressive, congratulations on 100k

Mine's at 131k and still feels strong.

100,000 with todays vehicles is no big deal as the better built can easily go over 200000 without major repairs. I remember watching my 2000 Cummins roll over from 99,999 to 100k and with the truck now at 190,000 only the AC compressor needed replacing. I am looking forward to watching it roll over to 200,000. Comparing to what we had in the 50s todays cars and trucks are far more durable and with proper care your baby can easily make 200k.

Yeah 100k used to be huge. Now it’s just getting warmed up. Fun watching that odo reach milestones. Mines almost 100k.

Nice! Like said, 100K miles is nothing for a cared for vehicle. Your typical failures at that point are going to be wheel bearings, brake calipers, serpentine belt tensioners or idlers, A/C compressor, alternator, ball joints, stabilizer bar end links..etc.

If you haven't changed transmission fluid, I definitely would. Pan drop, filter change and fluid exchange would be best.

I feel your pain. Gonna hit it in the next 48 hours. I think this is a midlife crisis!

 

[PoMansRam]

^ I'll be in that same boat. I do about 20K miles per year.

It is in truck years

I was over 180,000 miles on mine and was a dream to have.

 

[LoneStarSilver]

Traded my 2012 in at just over 200k because I wanted a newer model. I had no major problems other than the broken head to exhaust manifold bolts.

Congrats. It's cool seeing it turn over 100k that's for sure. Like when the 08 focus I had turned 150k. It had minimal repairs by thst point and was still on the original clutch and rear brakes. I am very particular with maintenance though.
