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.

Have never done a transmission fluid change in my life and have never had a single tranny issue in my 2 Chevys and 2 Hyundais. Granted I usually take my vehicles to 150k miles then get a new one so maybe I didn’t go long enough to have issues.

At what mileage should one do a fluid change? My Telluride that I’m driving now will probably be the first vehicle we run until the wheels fall off because my wife wants it when I’m ready for a new vehicle. Currently at 60k miles in 3 years.

I thought my transmission had given out on a road trip. Got it towed to an auto shop expecting an estimate that would total the car.

They flushed out the fluid, lots of sediment. They figured that was choking the flow to where the transmission couldn’t shift; after replacing the fluid it was fine!
