Amen.

I always bring these up because they don't appear on any of the scheduled services in your maintenance booklet. It is in the booklet, but is mentioned in a different location than the mileage interval services.

My car was serviced exclusively at the dealer for the first 127,500 miles, and the dealer service writer missed it.

Here are the requirements:


Change the brake fluid every two (2) years.

Change the Coolant every three (3) years.
