Tranny fluid/filter change

[SANDSAILOR]

If the screen looks dirty or has a hole in it then change it, if not I wouldnt sweat it. Amsoil makes a sp replacment that I have been running for the past 40k with no problems. Its around 8 bucks a qrt if I remember right but sp was like 15 a qrt at the dealer back then.

When I got my BTS i asked them when I should change fluid and he said prob never just change the filter out every 40-50k miles. They use that scheafers oil.

i've heard that the interval for job 2 and 3 is 60k is there any truth to this?

how the hell can you change a filter without dropping the pan and changing the fluid?

how many quarts are the trucks taking in the pan? my job 1 is at 33,000 and i've been putting this off.

FT176 / 7C3Z-7B155-B

Side note: got a spare quart of Mercon SP at the dealer for $5.xx

The pan drop takes 7.5 qrts on a Job 1, I think its 17.5 qrts for a flush.

I feel the same way... the job1's pay more for that filter and from waht ive heard, it only does 10% of the job that the internal filters do. I plan on swapping to the newer trans pan and filter. Just not sure what to do with the old external filter yet (don't want to overload the fluid pump going thru both.) I saw your thread, and am trying to find that info. Will post it there.
