Default What are all the fluids that have to be changed in the car?

Radiator coolant doesn't really need to be changed because on most newer cars, they're designed to last the life of the car as long as the system is not opened to allow outside air to enter. If you must, it really should only be changed once or twice within the life of the car. Brake fluid should be changed once every 2 years. Does the brake and clutch fluid share the same reservoir on the Z??? Also power steering fluid, transmission fluid, engine oil, differential, and maybe air conditioning recharge

Wrong Sorry.
Neglect Coolant changing at your peril.
The Buffer system will eventually get weaker and weaker as time goes by.
Every 2 years minimum and be <sure> to refill the water portion with distilled water only.
