Re: Is Flushing Transmission neccessary?

Flushing is not neccesary they are trying to fleece you . If you want to have the fluid and filter changed as peace of mind thats ok , though even the severe schedule for tranny maintenance is now 60000 miles . Don't know what they are talking about with a oil flush , you change the oil as per schedule in owners manual , under normal service every 4000 miles should be fine unless you are driving thru dusty conditions all the time or do a lot of very short trips then 3000 miles . If the car is running fine you certainly don't need any fuel system cleaning , if you dump a good fuel system cleaner in the fuel tank after every oil change it is highly unlikely you will ever have a fuel system problem. I would leary of that dealer with what they are telling you...
