Is it worth it to have a dealer change all my fluids. Ill do the oil change but i have never did a transmission fluid change or acd change. Should i just take it to the dealer?

Side questions:
How much will it be?
When should you change it (how many miles)?

any help is appreciated.

It cost me $300 to have dealer do tranny, TC, and rear diff. The fluids are expensive as it is, so is it worth it to you? I'm doing my next one in 15k on my own.

30k regular usage.
15k severe usage.

Don't forget the big 60K mileage service.

Im at 14,000 miles and have only done oil changes. I drive my car like a baby also. So you think im okay for another 15,000 miles before i touch any other fluids?

I believe most members on here do it at 15k then at 30k. I had everything done at 15k because I upgraded my clutch. I'm at 31k now and plan changing fluids myself this weekend. Its pretty easy and there are great how toe on here. Also use the oem diaqueen fluids

+1 on the oem fluids.

i change my own motor oil, but as far as the differential, lsd, transfer case oil, I let the dealership do it because in the tech manual you need their special tool to pump out all the pressure fluid completely and to bleed the acd.
sure accessing the drain and fill hole is easy but i rather have it done completely not %75.

Timing Belt & Water Pump along with all the pulleys and balance belt. Parts are around $350. You should know if this has been done or not.

Its always best to do it yourself. You choose the fluids of your liking, and you make sure its done properly. When bringing it to a dealer you take the risk of someone forgetting a ring or not fully letting the fluids drain. Sometimes they don't even top it off.
