Tune up, tell me how I did...

thanks for the feedback, I jumped the gun when i posted this saying that the tranny filter was done by dealer, because i wrote the post late at night expecting to have the tranny done next day. They told me they don't do a whole fluid change, just pan and filter, so I decided to do it myself, what do you guys think about this fluid:

mobil 1 synthetic atf, says it's compatible with conventional, and I love mobil. do the job myself, as for what the tranny calls for, mobil says it's good in 05' and older, 06' and up use the type VI, but being that this fluid is top grade synthetic, I figured it would last alot longer, cleaner and help rejuvenate the old fluid, i wanted to use some lucus product transmission fluid as well, I love their products.

Now what if there were a way to access all the fluid, even in the torque converter? any home do it yourself rigs people invented to do that?

thanks again for the feedback! and happy new year to all.

I looked up the tranny fluid requirements for the 05, just because I’m bored. The 05s still only required the Dexron3. So the stuff you put is more than adequate, that being said I still would have used Dexron6 myself. I’m just glad to see like minded people out there, it never ceases to amaze me how many people never change their tranny fluid until they have noticeable problems. And then rush out and change their tranny fluid thinking it will fix the damage. Story time now, I was talking car stuff at work. And this guy told me I was wasting my money changing tranny fluid, because he never has. I was like ya, if I could afford a new car every two years I wouldn’t either! I told him for the cost of one tranny replacement, you can do a life time of fluid changes. Some people’s kids.

Also, since you’re a big do it yourselfer. I have heard you can tap a drain into your torque converter. But honestly I would never recommend that to anyone. IMO if you do a pan drop about every 75K your going to be golden.
