My jeep is about to turn 60,000 miles, and there is a bunch of routine service stuff recommended in the manual, such as changing transmission fluid and differential fluid. That much is fine and dandy, and I'm going to hire the local jiffy lube to just change all the fluids and things that need changing.
HOWEVER, IN ADDITION to the stuff recommended in the manual, the fine folks at jiffy lube are also telling me I need (1) a change of the power steering fluid, (2) a change of the brake fluid, and (3) a flush/replace of the radiator fluid. They made an especially big show of displaying a sample of some of the brake fluid to me, telling me how dirty it is and how bad it needs changed.
Just wondering from some of the more knowledgable mechanics around here if this is really stuff that needs doing, or (as I suspect) stuff that can be left alone and the lube folks just want to run up my bill.
Also, as long as I'm asking.... at 30,000 mi I put in synthetic transmission and diff fluid, instead of the regular stuff. Does this extend the interval for which it needs changed, or should I still follow manufacturer recommendations and change at 60,000.
Thanks!
