Hi ya'll

I am coming up on 29K miles on my '06 Libby, and since I will be going in for an oil change soon, I was wondering if I should get ALL of my fluids changed out?

Should I get the following done too?:

Auto-tranny fluid?
Front differential fluid?
Rear Diff. fluid?
Transfer case?
Brake fluid?
Radiator fluid?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

read the owners manual would be my first suggestion. suggested service intervals are in there. 30k is a norm for a lot of the services.

IMHO 30K is a great time to do all of those fluids.

All of the above.

Engine, Power Steering, Transfer Case, Transmission w/Filter, Front Diff, Rear Diff, Brake Fluid

Might be a little early for the antifreeze. Check you serpentine belt for any cracks, shouldn't have to change it for another 10-15K miles.

Every Fluid.

Don't forget the PCV valve either.

Mobil1 extended performance is "FULL" synthetic,regular Mobil1 uses a dino base stock which is considered by the Gov to meet synthetic status.

I know that but most think Any Mobil 1 product is a full syn. You gotta love a company that gives in and follows suit when they realize they can make more money on a cheaper product. (in reference to their suit against Castrol's Syn claims) Oh well, more billion$ in their pocket. :?
Guess we should all own stock in Mobil.
