stop wasting your money you guys. Look at your trans dipstick it should say no need to change fluid!

It's lifetime fluid people.

the dealer does agree that the fluid was to clean to change. i have gotten plenty done out of warranty at no cost, that is why i checked up.

Although I think you should do it regardless, even the serviceman at my dealership told me that although the manual does say lifetime fluid, that "we" know better, and changing it periodically is a good thing to do, agreeing with me when I went to buy my fluids.

Hell, just take a look at fluid analysis done on lifetime WS ATF fluid and see the levels of metal and silicon inside of it. For so cheap, and so easy, WHY not? It's less then $20 and half the work of an oil change. I don't see why you wouldn't...

For example:

The fact is, transmission is only "lifetime" until your warranty is up, then its on you. So change the fluid!

If you sit in HOT traffic like I do, change it every 25-30k miles.
Cheap insurance.
