Default Re: 100k miles. What else needs done?

Guys I have searched and searched. I want to replace my diff and brake fluid.



Will any DOT4 brake fluid meet specs in my limited? The manual makes a big deal about the boiling point, etc. Also, book calls for 1/2 quart in the resivour - what's a good guess for a whole system flush? 2 quarts? 3?



And for the differential - 75W-85 just does not exist around here. I found synthetic (I beleive it was Mobile 1) 75W90 all over town as well as 75W140. Book calls for 75W85 - just how critical can it be? I mean, isn't replacing 7 year old fluid with ANYTHING CLOSE better than 7 year old brake and diff fluid?



I picked up two quarts of Mobile 1 5W20 for the transmission tonight. I want to do it all before the Dragon - which is 5 1/2 days away. Gonna end up paying NTB or my local independent garage - I don't live where cars can be worked on in the driveway anymore.
