How long do you wait for these three.

Engine - 3500-4000, depends how it smells/looks


Trans - ????

I swapped out my tranny fluid at 25k and it looked new very little wear.

Diff - 10-15k

I swapped out my fluid at 24k and it was black as hell and looked worn out.

 

the motor i changed at different point as i do with all my cars... how you drive as well asn conditions all play a factor i just check it every week or so to see how the coloration is of the oil.. somtimes i changed it at 2k some at 4k hell there were times that the oil was looking great at 7k.... but i never went more then 7K....

tranny and diff depends how hard u are on it like the motor.. but i like to change it every 15k ish... just to keep clean fresh **** in there!

 

so 15k on the tranny and diff..

im going to inspect my diff oil.

 

7-10k on tranny and diff. i like my tranny buttery smooth.

and 3k for oil.

 

3,000 for oil. "Don't let the Maint. Required light come on!"

Maintenance light does not come on every 3k.

 

i think he meant to not wait for the light at 7500,

 

Engine oil: 2500 miles - Quaker Peak (non-syn)
Trans: 15k miles - Honda MTF
Diff: 10k miles - Mobil1 gear oil

I never let the engine oil get black.
Trans gets about 200ml overfill.
Brake fluid gets done with new pads.
Clutch fluid gets done every 50k.

Yeah, that's what I meant... thanks for the back-up.

 

3k for oil(syn blend, oe filter)
10k for diff(m1)
10k for tranny(GMSMFM)

diff and tranny most likely to be done before 10k

 

oil: 3k or after every track event (Mobil1 10w30)
I gotta do my trans and diff. It's original and the car has 22k on it.

 

3k for oil...sometimes if I am too busy it gets up to 4k.

trans I did once I bought the car (18k miles) and I haven't done it since. it is on my to-do list.

coolant - just did a flush for the first time at 64k miles last sat. it should have been done a long time ago since MY00 come with standard coolant and not the long-life that comes in MY01+. The old green coolant was still looking perfect thank god. After 5 flushes I filled it up with the new typeII long life so I won't have to do it again for quite some time.

diff is long over-due. i am going to do it very soon

 

motor - 3-4K
diff/tranny - once a year if not more

 

color of syn oil does not matter much. By the time i have about 500 miles, it's already brownish/black. So if i went by color i would be broke

motor- 3-5k depends on conditions(tracking, DD, enviroment, etc, etc)
diff- every other oil change
tranny- every other oil change
