Default What to inspect/replace in high-mileage cars?

I (and my family) have a few higher mileage (170,000 - 180,000 miles) Hondas and I was thinking of doing as thorough of an inspection as I could. Is there a list or thread of things to check & replace for the sake of reliability? The water pump/timing belt has been replaced at 90-100k miles and the scheduled maintenance has been done on schedule. One is a 1st gen CR-V and the other is a 7th gen Civic.

I was concerned with any old, worn out/dry rubber or plastic as well. I was going to replace the top cover & oil pan gaskets since it's leaking a bit. Not sure if I should replace wiring or other things.

I came across these two links but they seem to be more American car-centric.

I'd ask that in the model specific technical forums, because the GDD way of maintaining old cars is to lease a BMW.

People still use those? lol. Have your girl rail some birth control.

And what, you think that someone should apologize for not telling you how to maintain your anti-American, Jap car?
