THANKS to everyone. OK, Subaru Forester is 2017 with 40,000 original miles. Honda dealer, whom I like, did oil change, total inspection. They found the brake fluid to be black, and low. Considering my daughter's approach, that is likely the original brake fluid! brakes are ok, I did them total new 8,000 miles ago. they clamped down the exhaust heat shields, which were rusted and rattling. They said the engine and cabin air filter were ok, I did them 8000 miles ago. Honda said the coolant, trans fluid and diff fluids were ok
dumb questions:
1. daughter wants to keep car forever. car is 6 years old, 40,000 miles. i am sure radiator fluid NEVER changed. trans. fluid and diff fluid never changed. Honda said tires were getting close to need replacing. Daughter did not keep report, but I think the tread was ??6-7 mm?
should I change the radiator fluid now?
change trans. fluid now?
change front and rear diff fluid now? My daughter never will, and wants to drive car forever!
THANK YOU! I would rather waste money now and have car be safe and last long.
best,
bob
