Default service

My '14 V6S is now 7 years old. Only 23000 miles. The only regular service I've had done are oil changes and a brake flush at 3 years. No current problems. I believe I've found a local shop that seems to have good knowledge and references. Don't need brakes yet and I change the cabin filter. What is general opinion on what to do or not do?

My battery was still going strong, but I replaced mine this spring (7 years.) Past experience was that batteries can go from working OK to being a boat anchor (metaphorically speaking) overnight.

This is very wise and good advice.

1 post out of 4,922 is NOT an admirable record. (Sorry DJS. I couldn’t help myself).

WRONG, again, DJS!
With apologies to bjg625 for the thread hijacking...

1) I was, and am, wide awake!
2) The gorging on lobster—three to be exact as part of tomorrow’s Lobster Cantonese banquet (in other words, other stuff too)—plus a bottle of Dom Perignon “Luminous” champagne—isn’t until tomorrow night!
3) In spite of this thread not being “the” place, I’d like to wish all my F-Type brethren—my brothers in gears—a healthy and happy 2021 and beyond!!!

You’re a good man DJS, no matter what anyone says...

More likely Sasquatch than Yeti. Jay doesn’t look Himalayan.
