this may sound like a dumb question, but i was just wondering how many miles i could rack up before my automatic transmission fluid needs to be changed? ive been to the dealer multiple times and they never had any concern for it, so im guessing im OK. i just wanted to check with you guys as well, because i love my tib and i dont wanna hurt her.
im just about turning 18000 miles right now.
thanks

Do you have an owner's manual?

 

Stocker buddy o'le pal, be nice to the newbies, at least for a while smile.gif . Auto tranny fluid should be changed every 30k miles or more frequently.

 

hmmmmmmmmm stocker you sound like the kinda person that drives a honda... am i right?

and thanks brendan, come to think of it... that was pretty dumb of me to ask that question sad.gif , but then again didnt i say it was a dumb question? hmm think i did . anyway me asking a dumb/easy question is up to me to realize how dumb it truly was. i dont need some punk like stocker to hint me in with some smart azz remark like that!

 

Hey stocker, when do I need to change my muffler bearings? I keep forgeting. Maybe I should READ the book that came with them. smile.gif

 

I had my tranny fluid flushed at 15k miles and I'm gonna do it again at 30k. I do this because I drive my car hard and I think it's cheap insurance.

 

yeah 2k,
thats my main concern as well (hard driving) i mean i dont drive my car balls to the wall 24/7 but i do like to hit it every now and then, guess i should have asked it in relation to that.
thanks for the info 2k.

Just for the record, The owners manual states every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).

Hyundai reccomends every 20 to 25,000, if you drive your car under "severe driving conditions" which just about everyone but your grandma falls into.

I. personally, reccomend that you change it once a year, regardless of mileage. I reccomend doing it in the fall/just before winter sets in.

 

I change my tranny fluid once a year,defently feel an improvement when you change the fluid

 

Just for the record Stoker is an old hand from Fxtreme, tho sarcastic and cruel do take his advise to heart. Do forgive him for being Texan tho smile.gif
