Re: Transmission Fluid Change
The manual for my '08 3.5 states:
...3.5L (Code N)
V6 Engines Only: Change automatic
transmission fluid and filter (severe
service only). Every 50,000mi
See footnote (h)...
(h) Change automatic transmission fluid and filter if the
vehicle is mainly driven under one or more of these
conditions:
− In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature
regularly reaches 90°F (32°C) or higher.
− In hilly or mountainous terrain.
− When doing frequent trailer towing.
− Uses such as found in taxi, police, or delivery
service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, the fluid and filter do not require changing.
(Copied from 6-6 & 6-8 )
Is the manual telling us that it never needs changing if not driven in those conditions?
Nowhere does it mention a "normal" trans service for the 3.5L.
