Re: why buy taurus=
Fluid change/flush: Ford dealer here does a complete flush for $100. and I think Mervon V runs about $3.75 a qt and you need 15 quarts, so for the DIY hassel and mess you save about $44.00 and at my age it ain't worth it. Most of the time they have oil & filter change for $15.00 and rotate tires for $10.00 so for my money $25.00 is a good deal.
I asked a tranny shop what they charged and a filter and fluid change is $60.00 and that only replaces about six qts of fluid, so for another $40. I get 15 qts new fluid so I'll go that way. I mean, go figure; Extra 10 qts would be about $37.00 and to me well worth the extra forty smackeroos.
Whoever does it, make darn sure they use nothing but Mercon V.
My compliments on taking care of your Taurus and I hope we all get the long life out of our tranny like e_powers did: "i had a 96 sable with the original transmission that went 245,000 miles."
