A4 Service Interval?
Can anyone tell me what the service interval is for the A4 in a '96 (4L60E)? From way back when I used to own a '97 Z28, I was thinking it was 15k miles. The reason I'm asking is because I'm looking at a '96 CE 'vert that has 24k miles. The oil has been changed every 3k miles and the coolant has been changed at least once. However, it doesn't appear that the transmission has ever been serviced or the brakes bled.
I'm thinking that if I buy this car, I should change the oil, service the transmission, bleed the brakes, and maybe change the diff fluid.
Thanks!

Anytime you buy a car, you should do all of that. Irrespective of how often its been done.
But the answer to your question is 30K.

I change the atf in my drivers ever 2 yrars or 25k. Auto trans do not have external contamination like engine oil does. No air of blowby to dirty it up. On the vette, I did it 2x per year when I raced it every weekend. I did this to help flush the worn clutch plate material.
