I would imagine new fluids... If I got a new tranny, lord knows I wouldn't want used fluid going into it

mr.jar!

im kind of curious why you are worried about the coolant?

i would just drive it for the full 7yrs.

kenchan · 01-21-2013, 05:36 PM

off-topic... Roland is introducing nothing but crap (well, for me) this winter NAMM.

guess no longer need to get excited about music things from them.

going to watch a few other manufactures and decide wat to buy next for my music room.

I was worried about it this morning because it was below the min line when I checked it this weekend. But I got it topped off and now it's all good (I'll verify the level later this evening when it's had a chance to cool down and while it's sitting level in my garage).

And LOL at 7 years! You might be able to do that, but I would probably have around 140K miles by then

I'm thinking somewhere around 60-75K should be good. It'll cost about $50 and an hour or two of my time - not a big cost difference over the life of the car if I change it before the recommended interval

yah, when it gets cooler my coolant seems to shrink or something and it shows near the minimum.

ive not had to add any in my Z though.

wow, that blue coolant costs $50? the GREEN was $35 otd for me locally and it's concentrated so good for 2 services.
