You haven't paid for an oil change, new tires, or air filters in over 3 years and 85k miles? Prove it!

I’ve hand plenty of out of pocket expenses. New tires, oil change, wiper blades, body work after a kamikaze deer, new windshield, 18” rims, 3 additional 18” rims thanks to IL potholes,

Haven't changed coolant yet? If not you're probably due with your 2013. My 2013 build date was October 2012 so I had to get it done recently. If over 90k miles you're probably due for a transmission fluid drain and fill too.

I don't know what counts for severe use to determine the frequency of the ATF change, but I did it on my 2013 that is now 5 years old and at 54k miles. It was $169 and I'd consider it insurance against any transmission issues later down the line. I think others have waited until 90-100k miles and commented that the fluid still looked good even at that mileage, so to each their own.
