On another note what mileage would you guys suggest a transmission fluid flush/fill at??? |
at least you checked it, huh?
since i only drive my Z on the weekends i need to prop up the hood to unplug the battery manager. i ck oil level every sat/sun that i take her out. i dont need to wipe the dip stick either as it has clear indication of oil level just by pulling the dipstick partially out. no towels to worry about.
and i dont plan on doing trans flush for a while on my Z...at least not until she hits 30K.. my G's just shy of 30K and she's on original fluid from the factory 8yrs ago. im thinking about changing to redline later this fall if i feel the need.
i would do the rear diff as well.
