I m not sure if its too late to change the auto trans fluid. I know if u go too long w/o changin, its not a good idea to change it. I have about 56k on the clock and not sure if its ever been changed since I bought it used and dont know if the previous owner did it. So am I too late?

 

heres a good DIY site to for an auto tranny oil change

thanx

the part where it says do it every 60k answers my ?...i would do it myself, but my dad wont even let me change the oil in our driveway cause it'll stain it up, so the dealer it is

 

lots of oil dry and a big oil drain pan and a one of those huge auto trans catch oil funnels heck might as well use cardboard under there too less of a mess so to speak

 

Where did you get that? It is never too late to change fluids. If it was supposed to be changed at 30k would you now just let it go on forever? Of course not.

Not flaming you. I just don't know where these myths come from.

 

i have heard it from many ppl, and they work on and rebuild cars and trucks...i think they know

 

My body he work on Toyota he told me we need to do fluid change every 15000

 

I guess I was the only person to get an owners manual with my box.......
