All of those fluids are changed at different times, for different reasons. The only reason you'd need to change them all in such a hurry is if they were totally neglected for a very long time. You may want to just take it to a shop, that way you'd find the problems caused by not changing them at the proper intervals.

since we're on the subject of fluids, does anyone use Water Wetter in your radiator by any chance? I used to use it in my racebike and thought about using it in my 02 wrx too.
thoughts? thanks,
And By Any Chance, is there a DIY guide with pics on how to do these various fluid changes?
