When I do my second oil change should I change the diffs, and trans fluids too

also is it worth replacing the antifreeze

Me personally, I like to get the factory oil out of there early than the schedule calls for. Especially if you have an ADC front differential. I'd say it's not worth it to change the antifreeze, but I'd definitely change the other fluids.

I'm a maintenance freak, and I've already changed the front diff fluid, and the chaincase lube in the CVT at 25 hours. To be honest, neither looked that bad... but it makes me feel better. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I'll probably change the antifreeze out after a year or year and a half.

I'm with sheepdog on this one, change All fluids but the anti-freeze this time!
I'm about due for the first oil change and I'll be doing all the fluids just to be on the safe side! The ADC will have particals in it from the clutches breaking in.
