Default 2006 LS430 fluid service

My 2006 LS430 is coming up on 100k miles and it appears that the fluids (with the exception of engine oil) are original.

I would like to change ALL fluids this coming winter while I am not driving the car.

Please, what would be a reasonable shop cost to change ALL fluids?

Thanks,

B

each separate...

oil: $60 if non-synth, $100 if synth is typical around here. Dealer more.

washer fluid: Well, you did say "all". That one even I do myself, so $2.99!

power steering, differential, brake fluid, coolant: at dealer I'm thinking 150 to 200-ish each, from past experience. I've always done these at dealer. Similar to another car of mine, a Cadillac. good thing it's rare. brake every 3-4 years for me, diff around 60k or 10 years, did power steering just once. coolant every 5 years.

transmission: did it 10 years ago and they did fluid exchange machine. no drain and refill. This was priciest, around $300+ back then if I recall, for that high volume of fluid used. Probably more now.

Basically, nothing at dealer is under around $150 except a conventional oil change, or tire rotation maybe. And from what I have seen independent shops in NY metro area are not that much cheaper.

I( think I covered everything but gasoline and power door lock fluid).

Rear diff, $100.
Brake fluid, $175-200.
Transmission drain and fill, $200 (repeat 3x).
Coolant, $150-200 (do thermostat, hoses, OEM clamps at the same time).
Power steering fluid, $125.

Good luck!
