The amount of people in the auto industry that says it's a bad idea to change tranny fluid is astounding. I disagree with them.
I’ve only seen people say flushing is a bad idea as it kicks up debris and that’s what causes more issues. Draining and refilling is recommended as needed.

Dropping the pan, changing oil and filter is fine...
Flush? I NEVER flush any of my vehicles.

So true. We paid the price in December when our tranny (2018 Yukon XL) completely failed (121k). I had always heard about not changing and/or flushing. Whelp, we have a new Cert GM replacement after extended warranty decided to pitch in. Cost us $1800 but that’s far better than the $8500 it should’ve cost us.
All maintenance was completed afterwards and we hope to have a new lease on its life. Tranny has 100k mike warranty.

*the reason this started is from people not changing the fluid and the fluid getting awash with particulate, this particulate helps clutches bind. When you change the fluid you lose that particulate and this can cause slipping

Esp the 1st change. The engine and trans are still in the break in stage until the 1st one. It’s a must.

At some point in the cars life span if you’ve never changed the fluid, it’s better not too. Changing it later in life of the car if you’ve never changed it before does more harm than good.
