Gearbox oil
Manufacturer claims lifetime fill but specialists recommend change every 72,000 miles. Old oil causes difficult shifting and gear wear. Use correct grade 75W-80 or 75W-90.

Periodic maintenance
Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.
| Service item | Interval | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|

Brake fluid
Replace every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces effectiveness and causes internal corrosion. Use DOT 4 specification fluid.
