Re: Quik ATF question (KODAK)
You will get many opinions on this..... If you are going to keep the car going as long as possible, I would use the synthetic stuff like Amsoil. If you plan to sell, or only use the car for another 30K or less, I would just use the normal Dex III fluid. :)

Re: Quik ATF question (carpe dm)
Not sure yet...I just wanted to do some prevent maint. Should I just drop the pan or do a total flush? Also, should I let a Firestone do the flush or the dealer (I will save a bundle at Firestone)

Re: Quik ATF question (KODAK)
At 50k miles you should do a complete flush, filter change. As far as ATF, I use DEX III, not syn. but change every 10k miles to keep the tranny clean. If you talk to GM powertrain and the folks at FLP they will tell you NOT to run syn. Their claim is the syn. causes band and clutch slippage. FWIW.
