Hello
Engine bay is near pristine... clean.
Rad hoses look perfect.. have not carefully checked the serpentine belt.
Folks are suggesting:
Trans oil and filter change (including converter)
Replace all belts and radiator hoses, and of course the Radiator fluid.
Oil and filter change (will do this, last oil change by chain ,,, and I don't trust chains to do the job correctly)
Rear diff fluid
I have no issue replacing the parts.. but.. I also have a "if it is not broken, don't worry about it".
I have read that MB engines last a very long time, and go many more miles... is there reason to replace what appear to be parts that are just fine?
Do radiator hoses and the fluid really go bad in 10 years?
If yes.. no issue.. will replace..
Thanks in advance for feedback.
