I just passed 90000 miles mark, and curious if it is time to change my automatic transmission fluid. I'd like to try changing it myself, but I have never done it before. I'm looking for any tips, advises, suggestions, concerns, and may be somebody can suggest a good tutorial video or a website where I can step by step learn how to do it.
Thanks
Victor

I would not change it now, if you never have. I've talked with a transmission shop owner, and he said from his experience, if you change the tranny fluid every 10,000 miles, it could die at 100,000. If you never change the fluid, it could die at 100,000. he said he NEVER changes the fluid in any of his cars. It causes contaminates to break loose and destroy things.

So, I say, just drive it and enjoy it. When it dies, replace it.
