Hello all you lovely people!
In advance, thank you for your help - you've all been fantastic with info on my Treg so very appreciate it!

I am preparing to do some maintenance to my Happy Wagon and I see I should replace the Brake Fluid every 2 years. What do I need to purchase/order? I typically go thru NAPA Auto Parts.

Also, what does this entail with the brake fluid change?

Thanks all!

Have you asked your local dealer for a price?

It is a 13 stage process.

Quite a few dealers do it at a price that makes DIY just not worth the bother.

Yes, dealers will tell you it is sealed for life just like the diffs and transfer box.

But we know better!!

Change the ATF!

Change front and rear diff oil and the transfer box too - all every 60K miles max, more often if you tow a lot.
