Feel free to comment when if you think a specific time applies.
It's the first time in 30 years that there's a newish car (2 actually) that I plan on keeping for the long haul. Olwe bought new, one was built winter '14 with 20k, the other was built '15 but has over 100k miles. Manual says to flush/service lots of areas, basically everything.
My 77 truck, 87 burb, and ALL my gbodies have factory sealed rear ends, have only had transmissions topped off as needed, and have coolant checked/replaced as needed without interval replacements. It's worked.
Curious if there's anything about these newer car systems that change these dealer-boosting moneymaking services into must do? It's no longer the brass/copper era either... I'm inclined to just monitor coolant and send it, but, just thought I'd throw it out there.
