ATF change intervals

What is the recommended ATF change interval for an E40D automatic in a truck that doesnt carry or tow anything? Also do any folks on this board use Mobil 1 ATF?

Your owners manual should have the info in it. I don't know what the interval should be, but I once changed fluid in a truck that had 170,000 miles on the original fluid. I know the pan had never been dropped on the truck.

No. The only synthetic that would consider is Amsoil. I have 12 years on various vechiles with Amsoil now, and would not use anything else. Of course you need to 'make sure' to use the proper ATF type {Amsoil makes several version for specific vechiles}.

Don't have my manual handy, but I would guess 100K max and 50K is safe.

Good Luck,
