| If you drained It ALL out, then maybe you could bring It back by putting the old stuff back In. None of this partial business. | |||||

| mmj I've had similar thoughts myself. Scotty's videos say "save It". But I've never heard of anyone ever putting old fluid back In a vehicle. Perhaps the partial drain & fills works extremely well? | |||||

| Well no you can't go really back to your "old fluid". Once you put fresh fluid In, It's now mixed with everything. There's so way to "undo" that. And If you use a small amount then you're not really helping anything either. I think It's all or nothing. If the trans fails, It was gonna go anyway. | |||||

| That's a concern of many visitors here. Many people don't know the service history of a vehicle or they've waited too long to service the transmission safely using a "full drain and fill". By mileage alone, you've waited too long. Scotty suggests doing a "partial drain and fill" AND saving your old fluid. Using the "partial drain and fill" method Introduces a smaller amount of fluid Into the transmission, less risks. It's a much, much safer service. This method enables you to go back and use your old fluid, If you happen to run Into any Issues. | |||||

| Was trying to reply hehe. I had to post to answer before the add comment would work. Like I said my truck has 127,000 miles. I want to change the transmission fluid also but just saw Scotty video him stating high mileage vehicle changing It could actually damage It. I change my oil every 3000 miles. I keep It clean of salt from the winter and do car washes when I take It In for oil. I would do all this stuff myself but not easy anymore for older guy to get under the truck. I changed my starter that went bad a few months ago but chubby guys have hard time getting under. So up top stuff I try to always do myself and fluids and bottom stuff I leave to the mechanic with lifts | |||||

| Thanks, more Info always helps. Do both. Why would you do everything else and leave It off, no, do both. "I don’t beat on the truck" means you take care of your trtuck. Don't skimp on maintenance If you can afford the coin. | |||||

| I'm glad that you are. There Is also the Interpersonal Issue too. There Is a shop that I'm a regular, the one mechanic Is aware that I'm not a noob and offers me very nice deals for both of us. The other one, prefers to have noobs to rip them off. The owner of the shop values recurring customers but because of that philosophy, they have acquired many customers. Since, I don't want to have to deal with the bad mechanic, I started to look for alternatives. | |||||

| I've had good pretty good experience through personal referrals. Most have been honest. Honest AND competent Is a bit harder to find, but around here It's been pretty good. Maybe I'm lucky. | |||||
