They say inspect tranny fluid at 30 and if you look further around 45 or 60K they should say to replace...



I say do it now, Dont wait...

Man I just have a hard time knowing that you have an '02 w/ only 30k on it. You sure don't drive much, do ya. Any way, I had a mechanic once tell me that he changes his tranny fluid every 30k, and that's good enough for me.

 

[Dan Chatten]

My dealership changed by tranny fluid at 30 in my 02. I'm hitting 60 in the next few weeks and planning on doing it again.

Damn, Jack...



Remember 'way back when' at the meets when both our rigs were new...



Now you got 30k on yours, and I got... 97k on mine!!!!

 

[TracN Jack]

LOL Krash!



BTW Next month will be my last payment....



Gotta love the Long commute across town...

I have an 02 also (50k). How do you know if you have a cabin air filter?

TomT - you don't on the ST.

 

[DAN PETERSON]

There could be a slot for a cabin air filter, Ford fills it for the overseas exports, at least that was the case for my focus. I had a carbon hepa, Purolator, that I purchased for 10 bucks online. I sure miss that clean air.

 

[Judd Quarles]

I just did the 30K service on my 05 a couple of weeks ago. My air filter had been changed at the previous oil change because it was so dirty. So, I didn't need another one of those and I just had the fuel filter changed and the transmission fluid flushed.



In my 2000 Explorer, I always changed the coolant every 30K as well, but the owners manual for the ST says 5 years or 50K so I didn't worry about that.

I feel gypped. I want my cabin filter! No wonder the air smells bad.
