Gents,

A friend of mine has an 03 Sorento with about 50k kms on it.  She's had it
since new, and she gets the oil changed at some local lube shop near where
she lives, pretty religiously, about every 5k -7k or so.   I don't know much
about Kias, but I do know that it has a part-time 4WD system.  She doesn't
tow anything, but she does live outside the city limits and therefore runs
some dirt roads on her way into work every day.   She's never had any other
service done, except a few minor things like a faulty radio, etc.
So my question is:  Should she get the transfer case and differential
service done as indicated in Kia's maintenance schedule (at 32K)?  Is it
necessary to get the fuel filter replaced as well (48K)?   Any other
maintenance she should get done?  Please keep in mind she has had a recent
setback and therefore does not have a lot of money, although she does
understand the importance of looking after her "baby".

Thanks very much for any responses.

Peter
