and power steering is electric so for get that.antifreeze every 100,000 miles,oil every 5000 miles but some of us old farts still change oil every 3,000 miles.i am sure other people will soon charm in!
Tell me about the brake fluid thing? I also see trans, antifreeze and ptu fluidJust dont fall for the flush your brake fluid bs
Nobody mentioned RDU and PTU.Just dont fall for the flush your brake fluid bs
Yes, what about the RDU and PTU?
I,ve been driving since since about 1967 and had alot of cars over the years and never heard of changing brake fluid til about 5 years ago.i still have some of my older cars 60’ to early 80,s and never touched the brake fluid unless it was low.just hard to teach a old man new ways of doing some things

Internal brake part corrosion is a slow process. Chances are pretty good you may never have a problem. But eventually seals fail, caliper pistons seize, brake lines rust through.....all preventable with regular brake fluid maintenance. And with modern cars & the sensitive ABS modulators, it's more important than ever to keep up with the brake fluid maintenance, especially if you intend to keep your car for a long time, and not do expensive brake repairs.I,ve been driving since since about 1967 and had alot of cars over the years and never heard of changing brake fluid til about 5 years ago.i still have some of my older cars 60’ to early 80,s and never touched the brake fluid unless it was low.just hard to teach a old man new ways of doing some things
Sarcasm again or?
Yes, the last sentence was sarcasm. Sarcasm detector down?
Opposite way round for me. Older Dot 3 would get real dirty and absorb water, needed it changed out more like every 3 years. When the synthetics came in, that was when I started doing it "on condition" so more like 5-7 years. Anyway, if you drove cars for longer than 2 or 3 years and never checked brake fluid you must be super lucky or live in the middle of nowhere. City driving you'd have totalled a car with spongy brake response. Anyway, been a thing since forever ago, that has become less of a thing with better fluids but still one.I,ve been driving since since about 1967 and had alot of cars over the years and never heard of changing brake fluid til about 5 years ago.i still have some of my older cars 60’ to early 80,s and never touched the brake fluid unless it was low.just hard to teach a old man new ways of doing some things
What are the specs for this fluid?Don't forget the blinker fluid!
Every 6,521 miles, whether it needs it or not!
