Transmission oil change due to time?

I asked the moderator to lock it 10 posts ago, no signs of life...

OK, this one has degraded into personal attacks.

Nothing new has been posted for a long time.

Moderators: How about locking it?

I never said to ignore the manual. I simply said to ask arround and challenge the manual. Now, if you have such a problem with the people in this forum, really why are you here? We, the ones who like this forum and the people in it, won't loose much if you leave...

If anybody else is interested, Charlie D posted a really good thread on Allison trans fluid

One thing we can get straight. I don't have any problems with anyone in this forum. So you can climb off your high horse. Your comments are all over the map. You started this post with a question didn't you? Well, you are actually the one complaining when someone actually wants to discuss it.

Like you ... I like to challenge those who say a lot of things that could confuse people or get them In trouble. There's also a saying ... Don't believe everything you hear on the Internet. I don't.

Why do you start a post you already have "your" answer to?

I'm done with this. Have a great evening

You starter with the complaining of not understanding why people just doesn't simply follow manuals. We were never over the map. My question was always the same. I ask because I know somebody might know better. And I found somebody that apparently did. And the recommendation of testing the oil is a really good one.
You brought up the people of the forum, not us. Is easy to "Be done with this" when you are getting your rear end handed because your pride didn't let you stop typing when you should have admitted that you were judging others for not following the manuals and listening to others.
We will have a great evening, thank you.

And again, I hate when people doesn't know when to shut up because the important part is lost (Yes, I meant you). The important part is if anybody else is interested, Charlie D posted a really good thread on Allison trans fluid

If one would open the profile of the "expert" he provides all the information I need to believe he is what he says he is.

You said:"I would guess the transmission manufacture and there engineers would have raised eyebrows knowing their fluid supplier was telling their customers don't listen to the manufactures manual. The documentation is there for a reason, a baseline to keep you on the
road".
Based upon the "experts" resume one can see that his employment of 19 years with Allison was during the years that GM owned Allison, I see no conflict there. Allison developed Transynd while being owned by GM.

Again your throwing speculation that person is a expert. That he helped develope Transynd. That time isn't really a factor for the fluid. That supposedly it clears up the conversation here. Perhaps it's all true, everything he says.

Maybe you overlook the transmission is the biggest cost in this discussion. The fluid is the cheapest thing keeping the transmission in it's best operational condition. I would guess the transmission manufacture and there engineers would have raised eyebrows knowing their fluid supplier was telling their customers don't listen to the manufactures manual. The documentation is there for a reason, a baseline to keep you on the road.

Spending a few hundred bucks to clean things up as scheduled is nothing compared to a blown trans.

You hate loosing an argument that much? READ. The recommendation is test the oil, you may not need the change. I believe him as much as I believe the manual. Every time you change fluids you take a risk. I ask because I want information. Now, if you don't mind, stay out of this discussion so we can let it end with the link and the comment to the information.

See that's a problem with forums. People like you that run around telling others to ignore or avoid the owners manuals, that it's all a hoax and the information only enriches the oil guys ( in this case). When the end result is the health of the transmission, NOT THE TRANS OIL.

Your reading comprehension doesn't seem the best either. I do read and fully understand why the owners manuals are designed. The manuals take a lot into consideration, to protect their product. In this case the trans. Not the oil that your going on about.

When was the last time you seen a owners manual for the oil supplied when you buy a rig? Do you know why?
