It started last week with getting the wife’s 2011 Hyundai Elantra servicing (30K-Oil/Filter and transmission fluid changed) and now this week starts off getting the 2008 Honda Civic serviced (85K-Oil/Filter, Transmission and Coolant changed) and tomorrow will be the 2001 Chevy Silverado (110K-Oil/Filter, Transmission and rear end fluids changed).
Interesting how all the vehicles came up for servicing at the same time.
I tend to change the transmission every 30K unless the fluid looks like it’s time. My commute is from 500’ to 4400’RT 81 miles.
Unless it’s filters, I rarely do the servicing myself, I’m sad to say. It’s all the [censored] and small working areas of the vehicles now. I recall my 1st vehicle, 69 Nova. Not a problem to work on. Then I got a 76 Mercury Capri. More of a pain, but still could work on it. Then a 85 S-10 Blazer. That is where I started to greatly limit on what I could do. Then after that, pretty much forget it.
