15k service + appropriate additions

[torinalth]

So, I just kicked over 14k on the way home today so I'm getting everything together for my 15k service and some "additions" that are simple, cheap (relatively), and make sense for the next stages.

So, I've made a service sheet to reflect the stuff in the manual to document and check through everything.

purchased for the 15k service
penzoil platinum 5w40
oil filter - mann
topsider to do the oil change
cabin filter - mann (i think?)
Everything else seems to be service only. one question I do have is with the sunroof grease and clean, is there something specific I should be using?

Mods I have for reference
front and rear swaybars with endlinks
shifter
ECS intake (clean filter at the 15k service)
interior LEDs
new headlight bulbs
new akebono pads and resurfaced stock rotors

What I am planning to order
ECS brake stainless brake lines (it's been roughly 2 years so it's time to flush the fluid, have leftover ATE super blue)
ECS differential and transmission mounts
under hood filter thingy (that we don't have, but getting a filter that is close and modifying)

Anything else that would make sense with this process?

I would give diff fluids a break in oil change and forget about it for the rest life of the car.

Careful with left over brake fluid! I don't know how long your fluid has been sitting since you first opened the can and how much airspace is in there. Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic, will absorb ambient moisture very easily, degrading its performance. Its boiling point will decrease sharply (dry vs. wet). For the price of the fluid I would rather go with a new unopened container. That's why I prefer Motul that comes in 500ml bottles rather than the 1L cans for ATE.

interesting. I was not aware of them getting "wet" from just being open. I'll hvae to evaluate mine. That said, I have 2 unopened cans, but will be more cautious with ones I open. Thanks for that.
