Hello everyone,
I own a "new to me" 2000 SRX, with 1,100 miles. As I prepare to put it away for the summer, I wonder if I should replace the anti-freeze, brake fluid, and chain case oil? I have no clue if it has ever been done on the sled, but one shop told me that you never need to change the anti-freeze or brake fluid on an SRX. The SRX is a new world to me as my 1991 Phazer is fan cooled and has cable brakes. So what things should I do? I just want to take care of my investment as well as possible.

Thank you,
Zack
 
Well, do you think that I would get anything out of changing the anti-freeze and brake fluid?

It definately isnt going to hurt anything if you want to do that. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time which lowers the boiling point and makes them much more prone to brake fade. Antifreeze becomes acidic overtime and eats away at internals, but that is over a long period of time. You would probably be fine if you didn't change them, but if you want to go ahead, sure can't hurt anything.
