fluid replacement

**userfriendly** · October 3rd, 2006 07:03 PM

Car: 2002 Chevy Venture mileage 63,000kms

Was reading the manual. Walang sinabi kung kelan papalitan ang brake fluid, power steering fluid at fuel filter. My question is, when should these be replaced. Also, the manual says to replace ATF at 83,000kms. Hindi ba ang tagal nito? I called the casa and they said at 40,000km. Is this correct or are they just trying to make money? Mukhang clear pa naman yung brake fluid. Yung ATF ay hindi naman amoy sunog.

Hindi ko alam kung napalitan na. Ano ang advise niyo, palitan na o ok lang?

On my beater car i change the brake fluid once a year,pag sinipag pa sama na rin power steering fluid.I chnage trans oil according to manual which is 30k miles.If you got some money you can do a trans oil now or wait at 83k kilometers.

it's better to be proactive rather than reactive. mura lang naman fluids and your suking gas station can do it for you.... w/ labor charge of course

atf and brake fluid replacement muna siguro as these take the most beating.

What about fuel filter, when is this normally replaced?

Usually every 20,000kms according to the manuals here.

I replace them every oil change (diesel) and every other oil change (gasoline) since mura na lang ang replacement filters nowadays.

OK lang kaya na wait until next service before replacing the ATF, fuel filter and brake fluid? Just had my oil changed last Sat, sayang di ko pa nasabay.

For me ok lang naman, nobody's perfect. Wala naman sigurong catastrophic failure na mangyayari in 4 months or so.

Nasa sa inyo na po iyan.

ok lang yan... most casa would recommend brake fluid replacement every 40K km pa nga.

anyway kayla speedyfix ok ung brake fluid bleeding nila since hanggang yung fluid sa brake lines (tinggal pa nga ung mga gulong) ay nasimot.

btw - sa casa ka pa rin ba nagpapaservice for your Chevy?
