A service service message popped up at 147k miles. I guess this is the 150k mile service. The booklet shown oil/filter change, replace fuel filter, and replace coolant. Am I missing anything else? I plan to keep the car for another year or 16k more miles before replacing her. Do I need replace fuel filter and coolant since i don't plan to keep her long? Thanks for your inputs

 

I’d say probably not if you will be letting it go.

 

You should replace whatever is warranted by the service. They're called standards, civilized societies have them, and that's why we get to have nice stuff.

 

I would, but that's just an opinion, might be worth more at trade in with no service lights, but maybe not. also you could just drain the radiator and refill the overflow and radiator for like 40 bucks in coolant and the fuel filter is inexpensive if bought stand alone, just hard to change under the rear seat. I also am unaware of the market for an 11 year old car with 160k miles, may not matter beyond your own peace of mind over the next year of ownership.

Senecat, never fails to make me laugh!
