Fluid Changing

Post by leestudd30 »

In what order of importance should I change oil, brake fluid and coolant? Moneys tight at the moment and I may not be able to change all 3.

That's about the right order, unless the brake fluid is very old it's unlikely to go too wrong. The coolant will have lost some of it's anti corrosion properties but the biggest worry is it freezing. in August?
