Im a second owner of this 2008 Outtie. Got this car with 90k.I dont have records of any previous services done by the 1st owner. The car drives good but was thinking about doing some preventive maintenance. Mostly i want to start with changing the "FLUIDS".( flushing coolant, tranny fluids, engine oil and brake fluids). I know i need to change engine oil for sure but was wondering if im playing with fire by flushing tranny and coolant. Any advice from fellow members will be appreciated

 

IMO, I'd do it. A good way to visually inspect the fluid is to get a white piece of paper and let a drop of ATF fall onto it. A few inches away, put a drop of new ATF. The difference is startling. I do mine every 45k miles.

Coolant should be done as well, but you need to get the right kind. Zerex Asian or Peak Global Lifetime are good choices.

If you have AWD, don't forget about tranny case and rear diff...75w90 works great.
