    was just curious on why people on here consider this to be a prevenitive maintenance deal. my park ave that's a 3.8 supercharged has 200k miles and never had one issue with any gaskets and still runnin the dexcool.. i just don't get why?

    apparently mines a rarity

    A lot of people do it so it will not start leaking internally.

    Don't feel bad if it does, the transmission in my truck went and like a week later the trans in my gtp went too. Can you say expensive to get two fully built transmissions.
