Oil was changed when I got it, people seem happy with 5k oil changes here so I'll be changing it within a month. However the manual says 7.5k, so I'm a bit confused.
Should I flush the coolant or just drain and refill?
Is replacing brake fluid the same as bleeding it out? Never done anything like this before.

Now, when the mechanic 'inspected' the timing belt, did he tell you when it was last changed?
|
He said it wasn't the original belt, and he couldn't tell if it had been changed at 60k or 90k, I'm suspecting it was changed at 60k, he suggested going another 20-30k miles before replacing it, which works for me. I was happy enough that it had been replaced in the first place.

But how's the condition of the oil right now? Does it look like a nice ATF red or is it brown? Does it smell burnt?

I'll take a look at it tomorrow and get back to you.
