Top Off Fluids

[humuju]

Which fluids do you just top off and which ones are you draining/flushing? For the ones you flush, how frequently do you do it? The manual doesn't really say much.

From what I researched most fluids are just topped off except maybe the transmission fluid but based on comments on this forum (and apparently even dealers) it seems many even just top off the transmission fluid.

Finally, are there any recommended brands?

Well, you always check and top off the essentials - oil & coolant. Any of the major brand coolants are good. For oil change regularly and go 5K for dino and 8-10K for syn (synthetic is good to 15K, but the filter isn't).
