1. my t-5 has 117k on it, fluid has NEVER been changed. would draining and changing it to synthethic harm anything since its been in there so long? also, will the drain plus allow all of the fluid to drain out or is a little syphoning (SP) necessary?

2. same question for the rear end gear oil too.

3. also, brake fluid has never been messed with but brakes are working ok. should i consider emptying it and adding new fluid? just want to keep the car in good running condition. thanks.
