Hello I need an opinion about which fluids I should change. I am wondering because it has 209000 miles and some fluids are original
Heres the rundown

Brake Fluid has never been changed
Power Steering Fluid has never been changed
Differential Oil is original to the vehicle
Transmission Fluid gets regular changes
Oil Changes are original
Radiator flushes are regular.

Could you tell me the difference between Transmission Fluid and Differential Oil? Do I need to change that because its never been changed.

Continue regular maintenance on the items you already do and honestly, all the other things need serviced.

With today's oil prices, everything is expensive. However, if you do it yourself, I would say around 25 dollars.
