Unless you baby the car everywhere and never get into boost (doesnt happen ) The fluid needs to be changed @ 30k miles. Fresh fluid will go in clear, after avg driving it will go brownish, when it gets dark (like normal oil) its time to change it out

While your out get a good set of dishwashing gloves if you don't have any latex ones already. That oil will be very VERY foul smelling and all the dawn and orange goop in the world will not wash that smell out if you get it on your hands and it soaks in. Trust... I didn't think it would be that bad, like oil it stinks but itll wash out. Not SC Fluid... its something else GF wouldn't let me touch her for 3 days because my hands stunk
