So, I have a 2011 S and just turned 184k on it. I got it about a year ago and have changed the fluid in the tranny, transfer case, front and rear differentials. I have been getting a syn/blend oil change done every 3000K Replaced front struts / rear shocks and had throttle body cleaned. Other than an annoying squeak in front end and horn not working, there are no issues at all and it is my daily driver. I really want to make it to 250K. I am asking for any advice as to anything else I can do maintenance wise to help me reach that mileage?

Honestly, you seem to be doing quite well. Using full synthetic motor oil, I've gone from 3ooo miles to 5ooo miles on my Chevy FWD 2011 3.6L V6 with VVT and have not had any issues at all. On "dino" oil, 3ooo miles is good due to the lower quality of lubricity and just general longevity of the additives, but with good brands of synthetic I'm comfortable with 5ooo miles. I haven't sent an oil sample into Blackstone for some time, but the last time I did, it looked just fine and that same engine has 75,ooo miles on it.
I haven't sent my 2004 Xterra's oil in for testing. It has 220,ooo miles.
Overall, the Xterra family seems to be able to easily get past 300,ooo miles with even a modest amount of care. You sound like you're doing more than that. Just keep it up.
