Creeping up on 150k...what should I do?

I noticed this morning that I'm a little over 148k on my 06 IX MR (Pics here), and I'm wondering how I should celebrate the milestone? I'm thinking of replacing the fuel filter/pump (since it's all in one.)

With the exception of guys who upgraded to bigger/better fuel pumps for performance needs, how long was it before you needed to change your stock fuel filter because it just needed to be changed?

Congrats on the milestone. With 32k on the odometer, it makes me feel good to see posts like this and hopefully I can get the same durability out of my car.

that's partially correct. the sock is a filter over the fuel pickup, but there is an actual filter element built into the pump assembly itself. I'm planning on just replacing the entire assembly.

already running all AMSOIL fluids...and you forget that I'm an AMSOIL dealer too

had that done at 120k miles, along with the clutch, pulled and cleaned the throttle body, full fluid changes, new plugs, coils, and some other preventative maintenance. won't be time for my third timing belt job until 180k

All I think you need to make sure happens is that when you're at 149,999.9 miles, start boosting until you hit peak and hold it until it hits 150,000.0

Make it epic.
