Tranny fluid change at 110K miles totally worth it
#11
So a drain and fill is what they do in their scheduled maintenance (thus only getting about 4L of new fluid in there). IN our manual, transmission fluid gets changed 48,000KM, and 96,000KM, and I don't know what after that. Not doing a COMPLETE exchange shouldn't be detrimental should it? If it was , wouldn't that be in the manual?

So does that mean the "transmission fluid replacement" in the maintenance schedule should be the full flush or just the drain and fill like the dealership is doing?
I guess it doesn't matter since that's all they did on my outlander was the drain and fill. Just would be nice to know if they should be doing more.

There is no risk if you do this quickly. You should only run the engine for 60-90 seconds to pump out the fluid. That is all it takes. There is no need to add fluid simultaneously. My Outlander has 123K miles on it now with two fluid changes and the transmission shifts beautifully.

Really? I don't have the manual in front of me.. ok thanks.

I do not see where it says to change the fluid at 45,000 miles. I see it says check the level and condition every 30,000 miles.
For people that have done it themselves at 30,000 miles, what is the condition of the oil? Or do people change it just to be on the safe side.
A little off topic, but the manual never says to change the rear axle oil, just check the level. Has anyone ever changed that?

I changed my rear diff at 60k miles. IMO, it needed it.
45k miles was what my local stealership said was time. They said 30k was too soon. At 45k, it had lost its rosy color and was just starting to darken.

All the proof I needed was in how much better my Outlander transmission shifted after each fluid change. It had started to slip a little between under full throttle with the old fluid and that went away with fresh fluid.
