2007 xkr with 29,000 miles, what fluids should be changed preventative maintenance should be done? I'm going to be changing the oil & cabin filter myself this week, I also figured at minimum the brake fluid should bechanged. Transmission, supercharger, rear, cooling system fluid I'm not sure if they would be necessary or a waste of money? Thanks

 

All above look good

I'd add PS fluid to that which is defo due on a 14yr old car regardless of the mileage

 

good call . . Would you say the rear, trans, sc fluid change should be done ?

 

Here's what I did when I got my 2011 XKR last year. I changed the engine oil, trans fluid, diff fluid, and all filters last summer. I'm in the process of getting the brake fluid, SC oil, and SC belt done. I also replaced the battery last month with an AGM one. The old battery was fine, but I wanted to upgrade. I would also check the ball joint boots since those tend to tear easily.

 

At 14 years old with low miles, it should have been serviced on a time elapsed basis and have had 13 annual services. If it has, relax and go for the year 14 schedule. If it hasn't, then change ALL the fluids to catch anything that's been missed and give a baseline for future servicing.

Also with that low mileage I'd go for for an engine oil flush, attached to a machine that flushes with warm mineral oil and an additive. Mine had low miles when purchased (now on 57k) and when they ran the flushing machine it seized up and they had to call the Rep out, I was there and saw the gloop that had caused the blockage

 

Just bought a similar mileage 2012 car. Under advise from the guys here got new tyres, battery, engine flush. Taking it to a specialist in the next couple of weeks for a complete health check.

 

Replace ALL fluids , also All belts , rubber will have perished by that age . I do 2 oil changes per year or 3k and at each oil change I do an engine flush prior

 

While all maintenance is important, in addition to engine oil changes it is especially important is to replace transmission fluid and filter as repairs are very expensive and are mostly preventable with regular maintenance.

Last but not least, tires also expire. If your 2007 low miles car still has factory tires installed, they have hardened by now and offer reduced grip.

 

Oh, I forgot, supension bushes and a full alignment

 

Thanks for all the good advice, I actually just pulled the trigger on an xjr for everyday so guess I'm going to be doing this stuff twice. .
