[QUOTE="Dreman, post: 998239, member: 61303"] The problem that could come up is fresh fluid with fresh additives and detergents dissolving deposits in the transmission and getting too much stuff into the filter all at once, plugging the filter. The way around that is to flush it, drive it a week, then change the filter. If you want to be really anal, you can put a drain plug in the pan and change the fluid every other oil change, then the filter on schedule. I've been doing that for 285,000 miles on the original trans. [/QUOTE]
