Fluids recommended for replacement
The vehicle is completely reliable, and I intend to keep it many years. I do all of my own maintenance, and I am about to replace the water pump, t-stat, and coolant, in advance of any problems. What fluids should I replace before leaving for winter quarters in the Southwest? Ciao, Dick |

As to transmission, is a filter change also recommended at the current 70K miles. Ciao, Dick |

Actually you are right. Every 30k or two years is what's generally recommended. I personally tend to do it the easy way every year by doing the suction out of fluid followed by clean fluid refill 3 times with the steering wheel turned hard left to hard right 10 times the 3 suction & refill method. Some old fluid always remains I believe so I do it yearly. Just my way of doing it but following factory recommendation is quite ok. Thanks! |
