Hi guys my name is Rob and iam embarrassed to say that ive only changed my motor and blower oil in the last five years of ownership. What other fluids {rad.etc} should i look into changing when i bring my car in for service.

Being that your supercharged I would test the coolant and change if necessary. There is debate whether you should change differential and trans oil. From the factory they are good to 100k, I changed mine for cheap insurance tho.

coolant flush every 5 years, so you are due on that one.

you should also do the brake and clutch fluid every 5 years, so do those too.

other than that, with 25k miles, you shouldn't need anything else.
