Changed fluids today! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

leevanf · 02-16-2018, 05:29 AM

So my last service was at 1,500km - in 2015. 3 years after at 2018, the car is just 7,000 km but I decided to flush and use the ff fluids:
(1) Engine - Motul H Tech Plus 100 0w20
(2) Differential - Motul Gear 300 (non LS)
(3) Brakes - Motul DOT 3&4
(4) Coolant - Motul Coolant

Ill replace ATF next year.

Felt just like changing underwear! Biggest diff was smooth engine. Even on cold start I could tell the smoothness vs previous. But thats about it.

At the mileage I put on the car, i say i can stretch fluid changes every 2 years i think..

I thought regardless of mileage you guys change engine oil every 7 months or so?

Yep, the manual for my 2013 FR-S recommends a crankcase oil change every 7,500 miles or 7.5 months.

Which ever comes first.
Not one or the other choice really.

You do, and I do, but many people seem to think it means they get to pick which one they want regardless of when each happens.
