Just get everything flushed. Honestly you did 100k really fast so it’s not the same as doing 100k over 8 years. The fluid is used but not particularly old.

Unless you have the world's worst spark plugs, there would have been no need to change them until now.
Most are good for 100,000 miles or more.

But everything else listed is a good idea. Keep the car and bring it up to date, a better financial decision.
If it ain't broke, don't trade it.

Just to add,and not to sound like a jerk,but after the fact is not the time to be worried about preventative maintenance.

Do these brake pads have noise indicators? I'm at 100k on stock pads and rotors and haven't had a singlr issue. Is this normal? Most miles are highway after all.

Yes they do. They'll emit a high-pitched whine when they get down to the warning track. The wear will be dependent on the driving pattern.

100k came fast. Did it in 2 years working 50 hours a week driving two hours a day to work. Also this is my first new car and my first CVT- so you can gtfo.

Nothing particular with the brakes lasting 100k miles and longer.. My CR-V is 10+ years old with 120+ kmiles and the braking system was never serviced in any way. I'm thinking of doing it soon.

It also has the factory spark plugs.

I bought new brakes and new spark plugs a couple of months ago, but then it became cold, so I'm probably waiting for the spring.

Relax. He was just giving you some advice. You posted asking for help in this forum and he's free to give his opinion. You want help here? I wouldn't go telling major members of this forum to gtfo.

You did this to yourself and now you gotta deal with it. Simple as that. Lucky for you, its not much of a mess if you change fluids and plugs soon. Its that's great you have a job and work hard but, you arent the only one pulling 50hr work weeks. You chose not to make time for your new cars maintenance and here we are. All Rick was suggesting is that you dont make the same mistake again.

Welcome to the forum.

I don't think this situation is a catastrophe. Flush all the fluids, replace the PCV valve and plugs, clean the throttle body, and replace your air filter. That's really it.

Get your brakes inspected (or inspect them) at the the first opportunity, and put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S.

Then raise your hands up high and thank FSM you don't drive a BMW.

Im apologize for my generation, Rick. This is why you (slightly ;)) older guys despise us millennials.
I have no clue how old he is, it doesn't matter, I stated a fact and said I've wasn't trying to be a jerk about it. If you can't take care of a car, you shouldn't have one.Don't make up excuses. My son does that crap and I can't stand it.
Plus, there's no need for you to apologize, you didn't do anything.

Real mature aren't we.So you can GTFO yourself :)
Holy hell... and I thought was doing a lot of mileage! I just hit 21K miles after only 10 months into owning the car, and I'm already thinking about whats next on my maintenance cycle.

Just find it funny how the guy does 100K miles, neglects his car (outside of oil changes and a couple air filters), and then tells someone to gtfo after being told some common sense. I agree with you on that one Rick.:rofl:
