Ah..yeah I meant in-lbs, thanks for correcting that.
Additionally, I found a 96-2002 Haynes manual, and it's quite different
from my Chilton's.
The Haynes says: routine maintenance:
Every 30K or 24 months, whichever comes first,
Change the ATF fluid and filter.
If severe, then change every 15k.
The Chilton states:
Fluid does not need to be changed EVER unless...smells bad,
dark brown , etc.
If severe conditions, then change every 15k.
I don't have the severe conditions,however,
I come from a family of auto mechanics, so maybe
I should change it at 30K?
