If you change new(er) fluid with like fluid, you may not notice it as easily. Going from dino fluid (OEM fill) to synthetic should be obvious. Good lighting helps.
This write up is exactly why I keep my subscription!
I think I would hop on that deal!
170 bucks for transynd and filter, AND I don't have to do the work? That sounds like a no brainer to me. I called another dealer (chevy) today and they told me that a 'regular transmisison flush is $130 bucks, so the Allison would only cost the difference in the more expensive Dexron VI' Not having any idea of what the Dexron VI costs I asked him to ball park he thought he could do the whole thing for around $160 bucks for dino oil!
I wasn't feeling great about his confidence in all of this since they don't sell the Dexron over the counter. He stated that they have a bulk tank so he couldn't really quote me a per unit price.
I'm done digging around. I have a local Amsoil dealer who is working up a price for both my truck and my dad's (both are ready). I'm going to use DMaxMaverick's write up on how to flush it, and I will be done! Good for another few thousand.
Thanks for all the info!
