The Ford is running great right now after having both its engine and transmissions completely rebuilt about 4 years ago. For the last two years, the car has been driven about 750 miles per year. We took it in for a routine oil change and tire rotation (Understand oil change should happen about once per year regardless of how little the car is driven.) The dealer we take it to recommended that the Brake, Power and Transmission fluids all be flushed now. From past maintenance records, it does not look like these fluids have ever been flushed before. How often should these fluids be flushed?

Thanks!

This is your 90,000 mile service.

This is the 30,000 mi service, Brake fluid is only listed as check brakes at evey 10,000, so if they believe as I do, that a 12 year old car that hasn't had it done, should!
