Chappell,
I only change the filters at the 15,000 mile interval. When I inquired Newell about changing the hydraulic fluid I was told it doesn't need changing unless it becomes contaminated. I do a coolant strip test at every 5,000 lube service. For me that is 3 times a year. I flush & replace the coolant every 4 years. I use Detroit SuperKool coolant. Detroit recommends replacing the thermostat every 240,000 miles.
No bad questions...........................
TIP: When you change the coolant filter shut off the valve on the incoming line. DO NOT FORGET TO REOPEN THE VALVE WHEN YOU ARE DONE!
