thanks to this thread i have now overly paranoid adjusted my next maintanence to include a clutch/brake fluid swap to the RBF 600 before my road trip.

no need mishuko. it's all in ur head.

people change brake fluid too often anyway. these days i only change it when the pedal gets spungy (sp?)

it has been feeling a little soft on the warmer days... but that could also be the brakes getting worn down too.

my schedule says to do it at 24k... it wasn't done at my last oil change (around 23.5k) so it's kinda sticking to the maintanence schedule.

now only if they put something about the clutch fluid.... :stirthepot:

well, just as reference i did my Z's brakes last yr which was 5yrs in with 15k miles or something. brakes were still firm, but since i had the extractor out to do my G's brakes, i just did the Z's as well. haha

Maintenance schedules are to make the dealers rich! don't believe any of it.

Kenchan has the right idea!

But really, if you don't his kinda money and you need to maintain your current car, this is what I've been doing.
4,500 mile engine oil, Redline
16-20k Clutch Fluid
60k Miles
All other fluids and belt
85k plugs.
The other stuff brakes, etc as needed.

considering you're the god of miles, your opinion is pretty valid.

bit of a hijack, did you send the samples in yet?

So, not all intervals are in the owners manual. Check the maintenance guide. Here is a link for a 2014 version (my car)

I have a solution for you: just rip out the first 15 pages of your owner's manual :tiphat:
