Default Scheduled maintenance: 14000 miles

My 08 base with low mikes belong to a woman at one time. The dealer changed the oil when I bought it but the maintenance schedule recommends the transmission fluid change at 50K…I don’t see the diff change recommendation, but would you change the diff and tranny fluid at 14K miles and 16 years if you don’t have to?

Nope.

But the hand wringing, peace of mind folks will have a different answer.

The one thing I would change is the coolant. However I am one of those that changed all fluids out just so I could get on my maintenance schedule.

I would certainly suggest bleeding and flushing the brakes. This can save a lot of money in later years caused by corrosion in the system.

If me, I would....but I am a DIYer.

Only about 120 bucks for the A6 filter and all fluids to do trans, diff, brakes and radiator....and a good opportunity to take a close look at the undercarriage while there.

Yes, I would change all fluids just to have piece of mind knowing your good to go. First thing I did to my recent purchase of a 12 GS with 6k miles.
