I am sure this question has been asked here before, but i could not find any in my search (the search is not powerful enough, and i will write to admin about it). Neither could i find any stickies, related to common maintenance questions.
Haynes manual gives a list of maintenance items to do and the service intervals. But, once a car is at or above 100k miles, additional items need to be checked or replaced. Where can i find a list of typical maintenance items for 100k + mileage ? For example, i am considering replacing the water pump on my Altima, in the hope that i can successfully run the car till 200k miles. But this is not mentioned in regular maintenance (Haynes manual).
(Water pump is still the factory original).
I have already taken care of, (and will at regular intervals), are the usual items :
Things under my radar are...
What else should i be doing, as preventive maintanence, beyond the 100k mark ?

I have already taken care of, (and will at regular intervals), are the usual items :
- Brake system flush and new fluid
- Transmission fluid flush and refill
- New set of tires (replaced when needed)
- New front brake pads (Hawk HPS) & rotors (Brembo)
- Wheel alignment
- Air filter about to be changed

- Going to order my first set of UOA for both cars (i will be back here with questions after this one
- Fuel filters changed
- Engine coolant flush and new coolant fill.
- Replaced cabin air filter
- I also add MMO periodically, to clean out the fuel system.
Things under my radar are...
- Spark plug change
- Water pump
- Honda manual says "replace timing belt", but there is no timing belt in my civic !!
- Manual also says check valve clearance, and i am not sure when to do this.
- Check all the drive belts and underside components of car
