How often do you guys change fluids?

[Benjamin Choi]

Like the tranny, diff, braking, etc? The engine oil is pretty easy to target, but I'm curious how often some of you guys swap out fluids for the other critical components.

Here is the 2007 schedule maintenance guide from Toyota. (pdf)

Even before I looked at the manual, in the past I have pretty much stcuk with 60,000 miles for tranny, diff, rear axle and radiator fluid changes, occasionally sooner depending on how much I've towed. The manual seems to confirm that.

How about brake fluid change ?

Audi is strict about it - every two years.
Do other mfgr's even mention it ?

My stealership has records of my 4runner. Last time i went for an oil change, they pretty much remind me what's coming up. But i always keep my maintenance schedule handy just in case they slip.

Toyota doesn't mention it. I consider that an oversight... Here's a discussion. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42539
