quick question..30,000 miles servicing
Do most people do the changing of the transmission fluid at 30K miles? I have an f-53 ford chassis. Just wondered.

The first time I changed mine was at 30k miles. It had a magnet in the bottom of the pan and was covered with a what looked like iron filings and the fluid was dark. Also the filter had some lager pieces of metal and other black material. When I changed it at 60k miles the magnet and filter were clean as was the fluid. It is due to be changed again with with 97k on the odometer. My conclusion is that the first change is the most important one to do at 25-30k because the transmission is getting broken in.
