You should really change it every 25,000 miles.

^^^what? In the manual, GM says that it NEVER needs to be changed. Only if there's a leak or a problem.


Thanks,

GM says an Auto does not need to change the tranny fluid for 100K but you really should change it every 30K-40K. I have been speaking with other older JBO members and other folks. Screw GM that is what i have been doing from othef advice.

Hmm.. Is it pretty hard to do? How do you do it? It probably wouldn,t hurt as I've got 60,000km on the car, about 36,000miles


Thanks,
