Looks like now is a good time to catch up on maintenance since we are 'socially distancing' ourselves from each other!

60K service requirements include a bunch of 'inspection items' plus replacement of the following:

1. Oil
2. Spark Plugs
3. Cabin Filter/Air Filter
4. Brake Fluid
5. Smart Key Battery

I changed spark plugs and air filter tonight and will do Front Brakes/Rotors tomorrow (OEM ordered from OEMvehicleparts.com). Wondering about brake fluid. It's a little dark.

Any thoughts on the best 'Power Bleeder'? Push versus pull? I have looked at the following:

1. Motive
2. Capri
3. Mityvac
4. Speedibleed

Thanks in advance for the discussion!

ops said the wrong company i was trying to say motive power bleeder. they all start with an M but i looked at my amazon cart its the motive power bleeder and i was plannig to add the to catch the dirty brake fluid.

Either Motive Power Bleeder to push fluid, or Mityvac to pull fluid. Mityvac only if you have an air compressor, the hand pump to create a vacuum will take some serious hand strength endurance.

I have used both and they both work well. I prefer the Mityvac because its give me an excuse to to my air compressor.

Any problem doing the old fashioned two person manual open valve, push, close valve way to bleed brakes?

I used this for my last brake fluid replacement:
It's a bottle and a tube with a built-in one-way check valve. It's cheap and works just like having solo bleeders at each wheel.
