    Question When to change: Transmission Fluid, Steering Fluid, Brake Fluid?

    My 2010 Mazda3 is at 47k (32 months).

    Other then regular oil change every 4-months, air filter and brake serviced (clean/lube), nothing else was done.

    Looking at my Schedule2 maintenance chart... it only says to inspect Steering & Brake fluid.

    When's the recommended KM/time for Transmission Fluid, Steering Fluid and Brake Fluid change? Thinking about it for my next service.

    Thanks!

    The automatic transmission fluid gets dirty at around 50,000 km depending on your driving condition. You can check by the colour of the fluid by pulling out the dipstick. As for brake fluid, it is recommended to be flushed every two years or you can have it tested using a hydrometer.
