It's been recommended to me, that since I bought my car used and the maintenance records were virtually non-existent from the previous owner, that I take my car in and have all my fluids changed - oil, transmission, radiator - is there anything else anyone recommend I have done right away???

It's been safety checked and e-tested.

Thank you!!!

Do the radiator flush instead of just changing the fluid. It's super easy to do on your own with a $10 bottle of radiator flush from AutoZone. Also, you may want to replace: fuel filter, (obviously oil filter), air filter, plugs (and wires?), radiator hoses, brake pads (and possible rotors) and if you want, clean out the engine with a cleaner like seafoam (search the site for more info on that). Also, change the air in your tires. lmao.gif
It kinda depends on how many miles are on it. I assume it's an autotragic?
You can usually have a mechanic do a complete check on it, and they'll tell you exactly what could possibly be done on it, only about 30% of which you'll need to do.
I think that pretty well covers everything you could possibly do...

Assume nothing, my dear - it's a manual transmission.

Mileage?

Change your PCV valve too. Then, read this thread CAREFULLY:

Post any questions and search for Auto-Rx. You'll have a mechanically new car after 7,000 miles of the treatment.

When you get done, post on the forums with your feedback. Good luck!

It's just over 170,000km
