A question for those over 100k

Is there anything different, that I should be doing, to my car now that it is in the 100k club?
I know that the major oil manufactures have come out with new products for cars that have seen a few lane markers go by.

I'm currently running Mobie synthetic and changing it every 7,000 miles.

I'm trying to!
Just want to know if my MCS should be pampered more.

This car is still amazing to me.
I just got back from a 70 mile, round trip, jaunt to the beach.
Outside temperature was 50, had the windows down and the top open.
Part of the trip involves Hwy 129 (in CA) that has a few turns in it.
Car still puts a grin on my face when I take turns at twice the "recommended" speed limit.
And then using WOT to jump on the freeway and passing cars while I'm still in 4th - FANTASTIC!
I know your not supposed to love and inanimate object - but DAMN! I love this car!

If you're not already, be very vigilant about fluid levels (check oil level every week) keep track of your MPG and note drastic changes not related to driving style. make sure oil comes out clean and no deposits in filter. Its really just a matter of watch it closely and fix any issues as soon as they arise. Other than that have fun congrats on the milestone!
