Do I have a AWD Transfer Case? Old School Maintenance.
Or is a AWD transfer case only for manual transmissions? My car is AT. Sorry for the dumb question.
I ask because I want to do old school maintenance (per Mike Miller of Bimmer and Roundel Magazines) and I'm getting together my maintenance list for the dealer. I'm going to have the dealer do this work, because im still under extended warranty. Oil Change (Every 7.5k) - 125$ Engine Coolant (Every 2 years) - 213$ Fuel Filter (every 60k) - 225$ Power Steering Fluid (every 30k) - 190$ Auto. Transmission Fluid (Many say don't do it, not needed, can be dangerous) - 450$ AWD Transfer Case (every 30k) - ???$ Differential Fluid (every 30k miles) - ???$ Spark Plugs (15k to 60k) - ???$ Cabin and Engine Air Filter - DIY Water and Fuel Hoses (at 150k) - ???$ Belts - Mike Miller never actually mentioned when to change belts, have you thought of changing them? Shocks - As needed? Would you do this level of maintenance to keep it chugging until 130k miles + ?? Thanks |

I don't think you need to do diff/tranny related fluids until 50k. I did all that, plus brakes/Power Steering, at 50k. Do your belts then as well.
Coolant should be every two years. Plugs every 25k, unless you're tuned, and then you should check them at 10k and see how they look. Shocks are usually dead earlier, but should be replaced no less frequent than every 50k. Subframe and other bushings, mounts etc should also be inspected at 50k for potential replacement. |
