Optional Maintenance for 4+ Year Old Cars?

[JL724]

I only intended to keep my bronco for 3-years and have done the normal oil changes and cabin filters to date. Car is now 4-years old and only has ~30k miles on it and I might keep it for another few years. Next service is coming up and thought I'd see if there is anything worth doing now that it is out of warranty and I might keep it longer. I will probably have the front axle, rear axle and transfer case fluids replaced. Anything else anyone is doing for cars they plan on keeping for the long term?

Some here will say your fine at 30k but for me I'd definitely do the front & rear axles, transfer and transmission. Lots of folks will flush the brake/clutch fluid as well.

Thanks, I have an automatic transmission and read mixed things on changing the transmission fluid. I’ll probably just wait and do a full break job when needed.

Firm believer in all fluids changed. Oil and air filter often. Never as far out as manufacturers recommend. Also, get hands and eyes on everything possible for inspection. Belts, wiring pinch points, hoses and plastic pipes.
