My brother gave me his olderish car, and he said I probably should change all the fluids, but apparently to change the transmission fluid it'll be like 500 leaf bucks. But the car has 230,000km on it and apparently he hasn't changed the transmission fluid once. I went to one place and they said I needed it flushed, another said to leave it and just drain, another said to flush.
Internet is a mixed bag on this opinion.

So which is it?

It's pretty much at the point I wouldn't want to fuck with it. If you MUST do something, I would do a drain and fill. Maybe do a drain and fill every 30k until you've done 3 since it's kind of been neglected...
I guess it depends on the total capacity and how much comes out, though. I don't think that would be crazy. I just don't trust any shop to do a flush.

Not changing your transmission fluid is a boomer meme. Literally zero evidence otherwise.

DO NOT CHANGE THE TRANNY FLUID ON AN OLD AUTO

The suspended particles in the fluid are the only thing keeping those clutches working (yes automatic transmissions have clutches, lots of them).

faggot wrenchlets like you deserve your blown trannies, faggot. if your tranny is surviving off clutch material in the fluid then it was already on borrowed life and would’ve died in a month or two.
it is NEVER bad thing to do a pan drain. Flushes can be harsh on the tranny, though, so don’t do that.

drain and fill, maybe just buy a kit and do it yourself, a lot of shops manage to fuck up what should be a simple job

Before good computers the fluid change would cause the transmission calibration to change and the car would shift harshly. Now the computer just recalibrates when you change fluid and it eventually shdits

You should check the dip stick for the transmission, see what color the fluid is.

>>28935038
230k km without a change
its the wrong color

>>28935055
Yeah, but I wanna see

>>28934850
Just do a drain and fill, do not flush.
