Hey All,

I just hit 60k miles on my 17 z51 A8. Besides a trans flush, are there any other services I should be doing? And if you are from the L.A. area, is there a dealership or shop you trust? Also do you know what a ballpark price would be for a triple flush?

Whoever did your 45K maintenance should be able to handle it...

A competent service department should be able to do the 60K maintenance on your car.

I have heard the triple flush can cost up to $800. I have never had it done on my 16 A8. My Corvette has never shuttered.

Mine neither but there is nothing wrong with the fluid AS LONG AS it doesn't pick up moisture. Therein lies the problem. It will, sooner or later. Why not get rid of the old fluid and install one that won't pick up as much fluid as is necessary to cause a problem?
