not much is up, talk to jarret about buslengths. it's kinda an inside joke/codeword for something since DT is down for the moment. anyway i got a new filter with the cai and it says to replace or wash or whatever the instructions said every year or 10K miles, so i'm good on that since i got it recently. is tranny service just like a flush or something?

Yeah the tranny service is a drain and fill basically. They are not cheap.

How much does this normally cost? Also I know that the transmission is a sealed transmission so there is no dipstick (or at least that is what the technician at VIOC told me the last time I got my oil changed there) so is there any way to do it yourself or does it need done at the dealer? I am at 71,400 miles so I am getting close to the 75k mark.

that might explain why i too have never found a transmission dipstick. but lucky/lazy me i will have a shop do it where i always get a discount and sometimes free if i help out with labor lol. but still if anyone knows an estimate please let us know.

oil changes and tire rotations take 10 minutes with a lift and air tools...awesome
