Default Fluids to Replace at 10 years

Hello Everyone!

S2000 is 10+ years old now and I have had zero problems. Brake pads, everything is still original. Only exceptions are the battery and tires.

A few years ago I had most of the fluids replaced, I'm considering doing this again. The car only has 30K miles on it but I thought it would be good to replace the brake fluid, tranny, differential, coolant and of course the oil which I do regularly. Any other suggestions on maintenance to achieve another 10 years of trouble free driving.

10 years and only 30k? At that rate your car will last another 50 or 60 years.

The blinker fluid is probably wearing down too.

Brake/clutch fluid should be replaced every three years. If everything is original, replace those, the diff fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, motor oil.

Just rolled over 96k today on my 2000. I've put about a 1000 on it the 3 weeks I've owned it.
