trans fluid change

Just curious, is 65,000 miles to many miles to have the tranny fluid and filter changed. I hear alot on this that if you never had it done leave it alone but not sure after how many miles that would be. Any info would be helpfull thanks.

No. Just having the fluid and filter changed shouldn't hurt anything with 65K on the clock. Don't let the service center talk you into a tranny flush though. Tranny flushes have proven themselves to be bad for transmissions in general especially the higher mileage ones.

Re: trans fluid change

^ ^ Amen to what GTP dad said. A tranny flush, especially at higher miles, can break loose all sorts of nasty crap that has accumalated inside the nooks and crannies of the transmission. The crap has been worn into it, so it has been running smoothly, but when you get a flush it breaks all that stuff free and causes a lot of problems.
