Subject:Replacing Engine System Fluids

Listees,
I bought my '85 a year ago with no helpful info
available from a PO.
When I recently got my van back from Smolen's
shop in San Anselmo, I was told that it was *not*
necessary to change the brake/tranny/power steering
fluid unless it looked to need it.
I would have thought, given the age of the van & my
plan to leave soon for Mexico, that this would have
been a good idea.
What is the wisdom of the list re *when/how often*
to change fluids?
Thanks volks,
Phaedra
