Anyone at 50,000 miles??
I'm going to be hitting 50,000 miles soon. and i dont know if i should bring it in to the "stealership for a maintenance or w/e. any one else know any good options?
i know i have to change my brake pads, transmission fluid, and coolant. should i bring it to the dealership? or can i go to a TiresPluss or some type of shop instead?

IIRC, the manual says to change the MT fluid every 30k. I did mine at 25k and again at 50k. I haven't had to change my brake pads yet, I just keep checking on them whenever I've got a wheel off. They're fine so far at 61k.
For the coolant, you can just go anywhere. For the timing belt at 60k, go to the dealer.

Now this is not the manual , is the DEALER RECONMMENDED SERVICE INTERVALS
