Transmission oil change due to time?
I'm buying an Alfa with a C7 and an Allison 3000. The tranny had an oil change 4 years and 25k miles ago. Do you change the trans fluid due to time?

I do mine every three years using Transynd Transmission Fluid and as of two days ago the cost of materials, 5 gallons of fluid and filters, was $311.36, the filters were about $72.00 the rest was the fluid. This was from Detroit Diesel in Fresno Calif.

ps for Alfa related questions this web site is specific to that brand alfaseeya
The gentleman who developed Transynd says a full one time drain and refill-torque converter, lines etc-OR drain the pan, circulate, drain again, replace the filter and refill is all that is needed for a full change over and no future changes are needed. Oil analysis should be done on about an annual basis to check for contamination from water or glycol but it's a low probability on both. Change if water gets to over 0.2%.
