So I just bought a used 2011 GS Sport 2.5L in manual with roughly ~60km on it and loving it
One of the things I'd like to do in the Spring is get more hands on with the car by doing a lot of the maintenance myself if possible. This includes: Oil change, cabin air filter, Air filter, bleeding/flushing the brakes, coolant flush, and possibly do a drain and fill of the transmission fluid
I'm hoping to compile a proper list of recommended fluids used for maintenance. There are several similar threads scattered across the forum, figure it might be nice to have all the fluids in one post.
This is what i've found so far and intend on using going forward!
Engine Oil/fliter (0w20)
-Royal Purple
-Mobil 1
-people seem to suggest OEM filters, anyone use FRAM or WIX?
Engine Coolant (FL-22)
-OEM coolant (from dealership)
There seems to be a lot of discussion pertaining to whether someone should use FL22 coolant rather than the type and where to find it
Cabin Air Filter/ Air filter
Haven't found a lot of information on where I can find these outside of dealership. If someone could chime in on where a good place to look it'd be appreciated
Brake Fluid
-Castrol GT LMA DOT 4
-Prestone DOT 3
Transmission Fluid
I'd appreciate and recommendations here!
