couple of questions regarding maintenance/service - please help
couple of questions regarding maintenance/service - please help
my 06 MT coupe just hit 45000mi. i have only performed the following services:
oil and oil filter changes every 4000 mi with Mob 1 full syn
air filter change 1X at 30000mi
front and rear break pads 1X at 30000mi
in cabin air filter change 1X at 30000mi
fan & serpentine belt change 1X at 30000mi
unfortunately, i have not flushed the engine coolant or automatic transmission fluids, nor have i changed the differential oil and the manual transmission oil, etc... i was planning these services for the 60000 mi service...considering i drive mostly in the city, no more than 5-10 miles each time.
would it be okay to perform these services later? is this a bad idea? or should i perform some of the less standard services now? would it be okay to top off the coolant with 50/50 prestone? please advise, thank you.
am i fu**&ing up my car?

Having read your thread, apparently you respect what you drive which is a
good thing and appreciated. However, changing your air filter at 30K is way
to long....10K miles is a better idea. Brake fluid should be drained/replaced
every 25K miles (did you forget this one?) What did your cabin filter look like
after 30K miles, to me that should be a time thing not mileage....3 years.
The better you take care of your trans the longer it should last, I'd
do a drain/refill this summer....G/L
