What else should I check at 100K on my 2016 Pilot EX-L?

My 2016 Pilot EX-L just hit 100K and I've kept up with all the usual stuff like the transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering, etc. I'm going to do the timing belt this week, but just slowly with the other parts since I'm low on budget. I need your advice now on what else I should check. Anything you recommend replacing now, even if it's not showing up as codes yet would do. TIA.
 
You're definitely on the right track with that timing belt! While you're at it, I'd suggest giving the water pump, tensioner, and spark plugs a look, they usually get swapped out together around the 100K mark. It's also a good idea to change the engine coolant and check those belts and hoses, along with the valve clearances. If your ride's AWD, make sure to refresh the differential fluid too. Oh, and don't forget about the air and cabin filters, those can get pretty grimy if it's been a while. You're doing a great job keeping up with it.

Have you already checked the condition of your spark plugs and accessory belts while prepping for the timing belt job?
 
If you're already diving in that deep, why not just sell it before something major fails, are we really supposed to keep investing in 100K+ mile vehicles when modern cars are loaded with hard-to-diagnose electronics that can tank resale overnight?
