1996 S320....30,000 miles

Please let me know your advise on what maintenance should be done on my beautiful "96 S320. Only 30,000 miles. After 20 years I am guessing brake fluid, transmission, filters all around. Any more? Thanks so much!

Hey, its a beautiful car, just got one myself 96 with 76k on it. Love it!!!
Id say all filters like engine, cabin, spark plugs, But you have such a little miles that im not sure if you even need to do anything at all. how much u payed for it and what color in and out was it?

I suggest to replace the heater hose tee at the firewall, this plastic tee can fail at anytime.

No pictures,i sawed the cats and mufflers off,and bought pipe and welded it back.I bought exhaust warp and wrapped the exhaust manifolds,to cut down on heat under the hoodI bought a 70c thermostat too.All new cars run hotter for emisions.Heat kills engine,and trans.
