It’s John’s recommended fluid and is changed every 30,000 miles. That was 51,000 miles ago, and it still runs fine It takes 22 quarts to flush the transmission totally.See my post on how to flush the transmission.Transmission flush vs drain and fillLarry 2 Likes

Re: Transmission fluid type Reply #3 – October 12, 2024, 12:35:28 pm Larry, My LD has been sitting for about a month. I drained 10.5 quarts of transmission fluid from the pan. I'm not doing a drain and flush. My LD has 43k miles.
