You are due for a brake system flush at 30k. I would get that done. I just hit 30k in mine not too long ago. With all these mods going in tho I dont really need to do any maintenance lol.

30k maintenance I believe would be:

tranny flush
brake system flush
coolant system flush
re-oil rear diff

My 30k mods are a new tranny and built rear end so I dont have to do those cuz its gonna be brand new. I will be doing the coolant flush and brake system flush later this week tho when I get the car back.

If you take your Mach to the Ford dealership for a coolant flush they will tell you that the coolant is 100,000 mile coolant just like the spark plugs are suppose to be.
