    Do you flush all your fluids or do you do a simple drain and refill?

    Drain and fill at 75k(dealer) and 150k full fluid exchange in my garage here. Ill do a full deal at 225k again.

    10 extra min of work in your garage to get 100% fresh stuff in there. If you cant do it yourself...dealers do the drain and fill(4 quarts’ish)for around $200.

    I've heard dealers doing that. I'd personally worry if the dealer does something to make you need a new transmission later. :monocle:

    Ehh..wouldn’t surprise me either. Its pretty hard to screw up a drain and fill (which is why its popular) but I get what you’re sayin’:thumbsup:
