Default 120K on a 2005 A6

I just crossed the 120K miles boundary on my 2005 A6 3.2L.

Anyone else up past this point? What kind of maintenance is expected (or should be done) to keep this running as well as it has? Any major breakage points known to be coming soon?

Thanks!

Prayer is required...and I would stick to the maintenance schedule but start changing the oil filter every 5-7k miles.

Transmission and electronics are my worries past 100k.

You have less than half the miles of the current leader.

Current leaders

5.2 - 113,000 miles - dporschey
4.2 – 140,000 miles - Kennedy
3.2 - 218,000 miles - opussteve

My old audi started to show the age at ~160K / 10 y/o. I expect the new generation to be at least as good, maybe better in terms reliability. Well minus the MMI and other electronics.

My B5 Avant served me well for 13+ years with proper mait. Plan to do the same with my C6 Avant. Transmission is key along with yhe MMI stuff as mentioned earlier.
