Just set up a schedule where you change all your fluids at once. I find it convenient to change the wiper fluid and blinker fluid at the same time, since I'll have the hood up. I'm getting ready right now to change out the air in my tires from the dense winter air to the summer air....it really helps the MPGs and offers a softer ride.

Nope, it's best to do both at the same time. And don't forget to have your muffler bearing inspected and repacked/replaced too.

I usually change both engine and in cabin filters every 15k. I check them every 5k and will change them early if needed.

The dealer was paid for a multipoint inspection that included a number of things including an inspection of all the filters. The service technician wrote a report stating that he inspected the engine air filter and found it to be dirty and in desperate need of replacement. Either: (1) he inspected the filter and lied about the results (fraud) or (2) he failed to inspect it and lied about it (fraud).
Given the lack of truthfulness about the inspection, how do I know the dealer actually changed the oil or rotated the tires? How do I know if they inspected anything?

And here is turn indicator fluid. Needs to be changed every 17,500 miles and filled as needed.

I think AutoZone and NAPA carry both in stock.
