Default RE: fluid changes/maintenence

The transmission is sealed, no you cant top it off.

Brake is normal dot 4

Power steering can ONLY be topped of with a pentosin 11s fluid, usually only bought at dealer or online.

Synthetic oil doesnt really need to be changed every 3k miles, unless you beat the car to death. Some people prefer not to change synthetic for 10k miles, but I change mine every 5k.
