t-case and rear take about 1 bottle of gear lube combined.
J2 is about 10-12 a bottle (quart?).

 

Looks like they did a simple drain and fill, so you'll have a bunch of old fluid in there still.

J1 For me at my dealer is $100, 4L. To do a proper Flush uyou need 8L, so at least $200 in tranny fluid + labour. Plus Im assuming the J3 is more expensive

I would ask the service guy to clarify what they did, I hate the term "fuild service" that means a million possibilites but lets the service dept basically pick and choose what they do.

 

Some people in here are talking about $10-12 per quart/litre. If that's correct then the dealer used about 10 litres to do the fluid service. (At the $25 per litre, they would have used about 5 litres) Next time I'm at the dealer, I'll ask for a price for the J3 and ask whether they did the flush or drain & fill.

Even if it was a drain & fill, the car only had about 50k on it so I'm sure the fluid wasn't that bad to begin with.

I did a drain and fill on mine at about 52k kms. About 3.5 liters came out and i put the same amount back in. Diaqueen J2 ATF from the dealer at $18Cdn/liter. The fluid that came out was slightly darker than the fluid going in but not really dirty at all. If you do a drain fill every 50k kms the transmission should last the life of the vehicle, from my observation. If you tow with it, I would drain-fill every year.

 

If they charge $128 for the tranny service, all of that is not for fluid. Usually stealerships charge around 80 - 90 an hour labor to pay their mechanics and skim some off the top. Supposing they charge an hour labor, that leaves you with 30-40 left over...so 2 or 3 bottles with tax?

 

In this case, $128 was the charge for "parts" only. They did not include a labour charge on the invoice for the transmission as they misquoted the price for the total job.

Either way, I will ask for the details next time I am at the dealership.
