Transmission Service
Has anyone done an automatic transmission fluid change?
Since this is a ZF transmission, usually the service involves replacing the pan which includes a new filter inside the pan.
Then filling with proper fluid, bringing it up to a specific temperature, and checking/topping up the fluid at that temperature.
If you have done this, please post your model year, model, the transmission pan or service kit numbers, fluid type and quantity, and where you bought it all.
Thanks

I’m at 55K miles. I’m planning on doing it at 60K.
Lifetime fluid if you don’t live very long. Why would anyone take a chance with such an expensive potential repair.
I’ve see severe duty change required at 30K. I figure doing it at 60K is worth the peace of mind. Probably 75K would be just fine too.
