PM questions

My beloved 2009 E350 is due for an oil/filter change. So I'm thinking about having the serpentine belt and tensioner pulley replaced as preventive mntce. Neither have been replaced and have about 136K miles on them.
This seems reasonable. Comments?

for a "while i'm there" kind of thing, i'd do the following:

cam magnets
cam sensors
oil filter housing gasket
oil cooler housing gasket
cam plug kit

at your vehicles age and mileage, if those items arent all leaking now they soon will be

There's also the thermostat too, one of the pulleys has to come out to change it too so while you're in there. Get the Wahler which was oem.
