Like doing any repair/service work myself as much as possible, for saving dough and doing it right reasons. Oil change is cake, what about trans.? I don't agree with this infinite amount of miles thing on the trans fluid. I just change it for peace of mind at what I think is an average interval.
Spark plugs, serpentine belt, alternator? I was told by one mechanic when he replaced the serpentine belt on my wife's then, CX-9 ( same engine) that the belt has to be serviced from underneath. Well that is no fun. Hope there was a redesign on that. Probably not.
Back to the trans.....is this a drop pan, replace gasket/filter deal? One reason I love my Saab, is there is nothing more than removing the plug and refilling. No pan to drop. You have to change it more often but it costs me 25.00 every 15-20K to do so. Even then it's still red. Peace of mind. Thanks
