– All this depends on your vehicle’s make/model/year and how you drive.
-Give the FIXD Mechanic Hotline a call to double check or check your maintenance timeline.
-If you have had this fluid changed in the last 8 years, then this is probably an upsell
How to respond:
Your Response: “It says right here my transmission fluid was changed about 40k miles ago. According to my owner’s manual it only needs to be changed every 100k miles or so, so I’ll pass.”
