I performed a drain and fill of 4 quarts from the pan. Pleasently surprised by how clean the fluid still looked after 30,000 miles.
Currently at 132,000 miles and this was its 3rd service that i am aware of being performed:
1st was at 82,000-drain and fill of the pan.
2nd was at 102,000-full fluid exchange performed with Amsoil SS ATF. The old fluid looked awful, couldn't even tell that there was ever a fluid service done based on its appearance .
3rd was done at 132,000- drain and fill of the pan. 4 quarts replaced with Amsoil SS ATF.
The old fluid looked great. Considering how simple this process is I think I'll continue with these drain and fills every 30k/3years.... assuming the fluid continues to come out this clean with just replacing 4 quarts out of the bunch.
It really seems that once that first full fluid exchange is performed, with all the original fluid swapped out for new stuff, these trannies run clean and are easy on ATF.
