I just purchased a 2010 Dodge Caravan with only 50,000 kms. The car runs great, no gear issues etc.
As the car is 6 years old, I am thinking of doing a coolant flush and then replacing the coolant with brand new coolant. The reason being is that the coolant in there is rated for 5 years and I have no clue if a flush has ever been done on the car.
The oil was changed recently by the dealer and still relatively clean, but I wanted to put synthetic Royal Purple in there with a synthetic long range oil filter. Should I wait to do this? Am I risking leaks from seals seeing the car is 6 years old? Oil change appear to have been done at regular intervals (roughly 7 to 10k on average), but likely have gone over the 6 month recommended range.
Lastly, wondering if I should drain the transmission and power steering.
Anything else you think I should look at doing to ensure this car stays in great shape and with us for the long haul?
