    Low k, but long time service

    My MY13 FL2 has 46K on the clock and is going to the dealer for a service. I tried to ask if it was a major, minor etc but the girl on phone called it a three year service and started reading about checking interior light functions and wiper blade etc.

    Do any of you mechanically knowledgable folk here have any suggestions about what fluids or checks I should make sure get done?

    I'm a bit concerned because although I was told it had had all its services, the online history facility only shows the 15 klms pre delivery check. The vehicle was owned by someone in the dealership, so I believe it actually was serviced regularly. (I hope)

    It's oil is at the halfway mark on the bizarrely twisted dipstick. Hasn't moved in the month or so I've had it.

    Thanks for any advice.

    One thing I was wondering was brake fluid... 3 years old now... Should it be changed?

    My 2013 with about the same K's had the break fluid changed, the dealer said it an optional item.

    I know I've boiled the break fluid at least once probably 2 or 3 times while having fun off road .

    Thanks for that... Might do the same. Cost without that is $545 I think.

    Just had the 50k service done on my 2014 SD. $762.75 and not including brake fluid change. I had price checked and they were all around the same mark. Fuel filter at $82 and Pollen filter at $50 will have me talking to Mario pretty soon.............

    My FL2 is up for the 3 year service. It has 56k on the clock.
    the service schedule says the brake fluid requires replacing every 36 months (3 years) regardless of mileage.

    Recently did all of mine at 130k.

    Fuel filter $60, pollen filter $19, oil filter $14 and air filter $27 online.
    Fuel filter is a breeze to change, provided you pre prime the new one before fitting.
    The pollen filter is a cow to replace and requires removal of glove box and then tie yourself in a figure eight to get at it.
    Oil filter is also not easy to get at, unless you have a 27mm swivel head ratcheting ring spanner.
