Hey Scotty, my question is an interesting one. I recently bought a 2011 Mazda 3 Sport 1 with 53,000 miles currently and has an automatic transmission . The CARFAX shows overall it was well maintained. My question is it never got a transmission flush and the fluid is currently dirty. Even though the miles are fairly low the fluid has likely never been changed in the 13 years. Should I flush the fluid , simply drain/change it and the filter or neither? It would be very helpful to have your opinion. Thank you for all you do!

It's the kind of question we have been asked here about a quadrillion times.

See the FAQ. You'll find detailed information there regarding changing transmission fluid.
