In this time of throw away, Low/No maintenance. That is what sells. Long intervals between fluid, or normal maint. The sales people sell it as the cost of ownership. The question is? Do you plan on keeping it for along time? is it going to be turned in (lease). If you are like me, 15 years later still driving the same vehicle, then change it every 60,000 miles. If not, not your worry who cares.

The new tranny's arent flushed like the old ones. The new torqueshift cannot be flushed, it will cook it. It has an inline filter, that looks like a roll of toilet paper. It has a filter in the pan for the big stuff. I did my tranny at 35,000 cuz I tow, and will kepp it for 15 years if not more.
