Hey, I'm a new owner of an ST204, and I was wondering when adding and/or changing the fluids should I keep to the fluids recommended in the owner's manual, or if there are better modern solutions considering the age of the car? I'm talking everything: oil, trans, brake, coolant, etc. The reason I bring this up is because I want to change the oil, and I read somewhere that it's not recommended to use full synthetic, however if the car has already been given synthetic then it's ok. Unfortunately I forgot to ask the previous owner a lot of important questions, so I don't know if it has been given synthetic.
Any input and responses are greatly appreciated. |

Use synthetic, if it leaks after it's because things were in bad shape anyway and were going to leak anyway. Change the fluids, not doing so is more harmful.

Alright, use synthetic noted. What about the other fluids? Use the recommended in the manual or is there something better? |
