What maintenance do I need
My 2004 is coming up on three years old. Besides the oil do I need to change any fluids: brake fluid, differential, transmission, coolant, etc? Car has 7500 miles. I only drive it about 3000 miles a year. Thanks

Leave it alone until your next oil change.......

Wow, a garage queen.
I don't know if 2004 MN6's came with synthetic transmission fluid, they probably didn't. If they didn't, this would be the only fluid I would change and go to a sythetic automatic transmission fluid. It would improve shifting, especially in cold weather. But then again, your car probably doesn't see much cold weather.

Coolant should still be good but you might want to consider changing out the brake fluid.

Sorry guys, the car's not an intentional garage queen. Just don't have time to drive it with work and two young active boys taking up all of my time. If there was a back seat, that would be a different story. Sure wish I could enjoy the car with my family. I'll probably end up selling it
