Just finished my 65k service + extra. Does anyone know what needs to be lubed? I don't believe everything was done during 55k. I am mainly looking for moon roof, seats, doors, but also joints and bolts else where? Also, want to do a coolant flush. What is the quickest way to drain it and flush it? Thanks in in advance.

The quickest way to drain it is to remove the bottom hose.

Open the drain plug, pull the lower rad hose lose and let it flow.
Also a good tip is that if you have a leaf blower open up the top hose and blow into it to push more fluid out. You're not looking for high pressure to do this just volume--hence a leaf blower. It really works. Just do a little tape or rag to make a good seal with the blower and entry point.
BTW-- I'm looking to do a drain and convert to Evans waterless coolant. here's a link to check out. http://www.evanscooling.com/

Drew, Evans cooling sound great. Let us know how that works out.
You should start a thread about it.

Not sure if this caused it, but I had never had my hood strut lubed until 125k. It gave way when they lubed it. Now it smoothly slides up and down with no hold. :-(

The thing about Evans is that you have to get every drop of old stuff out before you fill with the Evans. Research before you dive in.

Awesome feedback. Thanks guys. Ordered the lube and will do the job this weekend.

As of coolant flush there is more to it than I though. To refill, I will need pressure pump. Here's what I was able to find in OnDemand5.
