I know this may be a stupid question but..... My car is approaching 30k miles and just wanted to make sure I was replacing all the right stuff. I know I need to change the oil, Replace the fuel filter. I also read something about replacing some trans axle fluid or something to that effect but I don't think I have to worry about that. So am I looking at just replacing the fuel filter and changing the oil right?

look for the maintainance schedule for your car

 

yeah thats what I thought just wanted to double check

 

no problem, it should say all of that in your owners manual as well

 

I did look in my owners manual but some of it wasnt quite clear to me. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt missing anything.

 

Should be oil, trans fluid, and diff fluid. Ford says your fine for 60k and for life, respectively, but fluids degrade over time. I usually swap these out every 30k but that's just me. Also, I'd check your brake pads to see how much life you have left.

 

I thought the diff fluid was a big crock and that you really didnt have to replace them. I think Ill stick with the owners manual.
