'99 Sport
Hey everyone, I have a 99 Sport with 72k miles. I just got it a few months ago, and it is currently running great. I have no idea about the past history of the car, so I am definitely going to get it serviced early this spring. I looked at the link on here about service recommendations, but I wanted to see what you thought I should get done. Everything is working great, as I said, but I definitely drive the car kinda hard. What kind of fluids should I get replaced- Im thinking tranny flush, transfer case, but what about the differential fluid? Any other fluids? I also would like to get the fuel filter replaced, and was considering the plugs and wires. Is there anything else I should have done just so I can rest assured that the car will be running well in the future? Thanks.
 






i'd personally flush it all. trans, axles, t-case, oil, fuel filter, plugs & wires, bleed the brakes, and bleed the clutch if you have a manual trans. A lot of people on here run all synthetic fluids in everything, im sure one of them will chime in with recomendations on what to use...
 






Since it's new to you get it all changed. Trans., transfer cases, differentials everything. While you're doing it I would put synthetic in everything. It'll help protect everything better and should help you get better mileage also.
