quick question on fluids

[VX KAT]

ah, thanks for posting this. i was actually going to ask something similar. when is the recommended services for such things as the t-case, tranny. i suppose i need to ask the seller of mine tomorrow if any of that has been done since she owned it. i also think i want to redo the entire brakes system including lines, fluid, rotors, pads and calipers at some point. she gave me a receipt that shows new pads and rotors were put on the front, but it still doesn't seem to have the stopping power as say, my H3 for example. and my H3 weighs much more.

You've been active for a year on here, and you haven't found all that info yet? You're slippin!

ok, brake info....MANY owners find the OEM brake pads last upwards of 80,000+ miles..yes 80,000. They are a very long lasting material.
One odd finding...some owners have the original REAR pads wear out prior to the FRONTS....which is kinda illogical. My OEM pads are wearing in the "normal" manner...fronts are at 30% remaining, rears 50%.
The OEM pads are expensive, but many feel they're worth it since they last so long.

Several owners who've installed the stainless steel brake lines say the brakes feel more responsive. I just installed them about 2 months ago, and I also think braking is a bit better.....and I'm schleppin' a lot of extra weight too.

Concur. I now have 130K miles on my original front rotors and pads. The rears were changed at about 80K, during one of my normal service visits. Not sure if the rear pads were worn out, but suspect the rotors were corroded from the inside. I've got a brand new set of front rotors and pads sitting in a box (from Merlin, of course) for my next service visit. My brakes are not all they used to be either, but I can still force the ABS to function if I brake really hard.
