10k micro filter and brake fluid change

AshD · 05-09-2024, 04:49 PM

Just got notification these are due to be changed. As all inclusive service is not included here in the UK, wondering if anyone in the forum has got it changed and how much it cost them so to get an idea?

Thanks in advance

I never got the microfilter changed until last week (20 months, 57k miles). Bought the Mann filter on eBay and changed it myself. Took 3 minutes. Was $100 shipped including tax.

I would probably do the brake fluid at the dealer.

Brake fluid changes are not based on mileage but rather time. Because the brake fluid is hygroscopic, it's recommended to be flushed every two years.

I thought so too. My app shows no service due until two years (brake fluid and vehicle check).
