Default 2011 accord sedan 176k - 4cyl

New member, and just wondering with 176k miles and no apparent issues, what should I be looking at in the way of PM. I've changed all fluids (3x on tranny), new plugs, filters, cleaned throttle body & reset idle, new front struts. Anything particular to this vehicle ready to go?

Nothing of note. Just look at the owner's manual and keep up the recommended maintenance schedule.

Not particular to any specific vehicle, but 2 things that are common to overlook are antifreeze & brake fluid.

They aren't always on a mileage schedule, but rather on a time schedule because they deteriorate over time. People tend to look at the mileage schedule & sometimes overlook the stuff that says "replace every xx years".

Antifreeze itself doesn't go bad but the anti-corrosion additives in the antifreeze get "used up" over time. Maybe every 10 years(??) so that's not a panic for your car. Older cars probably had stuff that doesn't last too long, so anyone reading this with a 1997 Accord would probably change it every 2-4 years.

Brake fluid absorbs water from the air and becomes corrosive. I usually flush with fresh brake fluid every time I change brake pads. That works out to 2 or 3 years for me.
