SteveSter Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 BHR you change your brake fluid after using it only 800 miles that you drive your car every year? I imagine this year you havnt driven it much, you must be reserving those miles for the meet? -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazdaMomma Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 He is, as the road to the reserved cabin/house is a lengthy gravel road. Not really good for a millenia in his opinion. My millinia traveled a 1/10 th of a mile gravel driveway everyday for as long as I had her. Did just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ing-schu@online.no Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Gravel roads are generally in better condition than many tarmac roads here. Compared to regular winter driving they represent no concern whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 The cabin/large house for MWM08 is in a fairly remote and quiet private area by the lake, its actually 1-2 miles of gravel (I'm told level, ground up gravel) Not bhr millenia friendly, not to mention the dirt it keeps up. I change my Jeeps fluid each year, the millenia I do whenever I'm in the mood but never more then every other year, mileage is one thing, but it still sits there and can get air in the system.

latinopikachu Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 agreed. im just a bit more paranoid about the transmission so every 15k it gets change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 30k is well enough provided it does not become dirty. for some odd reason my millenia's power steering fluid became dirty around 10k or so, had it flushed and has been fine ever since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
