100K Miles
100K Miles
Bought my 2013 F150 Limited about this time last year. It was a repo.
CarFax showed regular maintenance, no abuse that I can see or detect. Runs great.
Anyway, it just turned over 100k miles.
Is there any additional maintenance or checks that I need to do or consider doing at this point in it's life.
I have changed the plugs and kept up the regular maintenance. That's about it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. I'll do that. Do you suppose it would be good to switch to a "high mileage " oil at the next change?
At 100k I'd recommend engine coolant changed and differential fluids changed.
I'd also check the recommended 60k maintenance fluids since you did not own it then to know for sure if they were done. Transfer case and transmission(as previously mentioned by ford390gashog).

1. Nothing substitutes a periodic flush of the radiator and when I drain the coolant, I place a doubled up paper towel over the funnel which filters to less than 3 microns (much better then any of the inline filters)- in terms of contaminants, the coolant is now as clean as when it came out of the original bottle. Provided it meets all the other test I do, it is reinstalled in the vehicle. I have installed a magnesium anode in all overflows (same electrolysis protection used per code for all underground tanks keeping the ph of the fluid neutral. The inside of my cooling system and related components is spotless- literally! I check the ph (using a swimming pool kit) - and check the alcohol content using a conventional coolant bulb type test device. If everything checks out the ok...I just refill the system with the existing fluid.
Spark plugs...I change them out about every 40k miles with new spark plug boots.

he might mean fan belt.......... 6 years old is not a lot on the fan belt, but a good inspection is in order... at 8 years or so you might change the hoses and fan belt. Rubber gets hard and starts to crack when it gets old.
Good maintenance and diligent inspections will keep you going for a long time. My old 2001 was at 214,xxx miles when I sold it in 2011 and everything other than routine maintenance- hoses, belts, everything- was still factory. Fluids, plugs, filters = replace. Everything else inspect & replace as needed.
