All the advice says
"Do NOT have a Power flush performed"
"Do NOT use flusing fluids"
"Do use the Correct spec ATF"




the "gibbons" method where you take 3l (ISH) out of the transmission sump + refill with The exact amount you took out , check levels, drive (varies between a 100/200/400 you choose) then do it again, for a total of 3 dumps/refills
is the General consensus on these autoboxes.



Most of the Other manufactures who use the AW55 box we have Do have a ATF change schedule.


best to get it done Before any issues start showing up as by the time they do it Maybe to late
Thanks for this, looking to get mine changed as up at 100K now. How do you find the correct spec for ATF?
