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?
