What are the fluid replacement intervals for 126s? I am guessing that fluids other than oil should be replaced about every other year. Is this correct? I'm thinking brake fluid, tranny fluid, coolant, etc. What about the hydraulic fluid in the SLS? Mine is surely overdue to be changed.

I believe the brake fluid should be changed every 2 years regardless of mileage. Coolant every 3 years and transmission fluid every 30k miles. You may need to do some fluids sooner if you operate it in severe conditions but I think these are good guidelines. I would also change the power steering fluid and filter every 30k miles as it offers cheap insurance to the seals and pump.

I don't put many miles on mine, but would rather err on the safe side. Thanks.

Am I missing anything? Brakes, transmission, coolant, and suspension.

I would change the differential fluid as well. Not sure what the factory guidelines are but I would guess you could change it every few years when you do the transmission fluid if you're not putting too many miles on.

I forgot all about that. I'm sure mine is over due. Thanks for mentioning it.

I do brake fluid every 2-3 years, coolant every 3-4 years, oil every 4k, transmission oil/filter I do every year regardless of the miles. Differential I do every 3 years or so.

I'd think every 4-5 years would be plenty good for the SLS system, since its a closed circuit....
