Hello there! Just keep doing what you have been doing. If it has not been done recently, a tranny fluid change, brake fluid flush, and power steering fluid change are all considerations to make. Did you have the waterpump changed when the timing belt was done at 150k? If not...well...next time around on the Timing Belt, be sure to include it. It only adds $150 or so to the cost of the repair. Because the waterpump is run off of the timing belt, the labor to have that changed 3-6-8 months after your timing belt will be almost the same as the labor for the belt change. $150 at the time of belt change can save you $1,000+

Add to Army's...

Coolant? Spark Plugs? Cap/Rotor if applicable? Rear Diff?

When is the last time this stuff was replaced?

When you get that high in mileage, you should expect to not really be on a schedule per the owners manual and maintenance schedule, but instead by when it was done last...
