Transmission fluid maintenance schedule

phelps2

My dealer is insisting the transmission fluid should be changed at 30,000, but the minder code hasn't come up. The manual implies the interval is longer despite not providing a real schedule ("If you tow your vehicle behind a motorhome, the transmission fluid must be changed every 2 years or 30,000 miles"). Any advice?

60,000 miles if your car is in normal service. Always rely on what your owner's manual says, not what the dealer might upsell you (unless of course the dealer has spotted some defect that he could show you).

I think if you consult your manual you'll see the 60K notation for transmission fluid.
