Question NEW 00' WS6 Owner - Fluid Change Suggestions

Just picked up my 00' WS6 M6 today. Put 130 miles on it just getting home, no issues to report other than the Traction Control switch does not seem to work.

I am planning a complete fluid (and whatever else you guys suggest) change this weekend.

Car has 72K miles on it and looks to be bone stock down to the air filter.

What action do you suggest?

Thanks.

I thought (you know how that goes), that when you press the switch that it disabled the traction control and turned on the "TRAC OFF" light on the dash?

I know I don't need it, but I would like to be able to disable it if it indeed works.

There is one way to find out if it works or not.

Especially with the almost bald tires it currently has!

Too damn old, but thanks for asking. Closer to 50 than 40.

ah, just checking. seeing if i couldve known you, but i dont.lol.

and about the traction control...they do make a module so that reverses things. when you start the car, its off, but when you press the button, its on. but i dont know how that affects the dash light.
