Engine coolant is suppose to be good for 5 years or 100k miles. I wouldn't wait that long.

50K miles on the transmition
100K or 5years on the coolent
3-5K miles on oil. Just go by your DIC for oil percentages.
Break fluid every 2 years or 24K miles
Winshield wiper fluid when its empty refill


I flushed my tranny at 30K miles (no filter change) only because I beat the hell out of my car and its always doing a 0-60 run If your a normal driver tranny flush at 50K is plenty good, relistcally on my work vans as there all open miles I do them at 100K. I never had an issue doing my open hwy miles on the vans at 100K miles and my company has 5 vans at any one time.

Any better than OEM trans filter suggestions?

if your asking for yourself, you can not replace the filter on the 6spd autos unless you drop the tranny and dissasemble it, it is sandwiched between the 2 halfs of the trans

Well isn't that wonderful.. Dropping the transission is fine but idk about tearing it apart. I have 104k on the odometer so I guess my best bet will be a flush and new fluid.
