[QUOTE="Tim L, post: 899272, member: 68249"] I love this site. Been checking it out since I bought her back in 2001. So much good info! OK, to my question, I did and have done mostly highway miles to her current 175k miles with very limited towing. I have only had a Jiffy Lube do a transmission flush at 90K. I have actually had zero issues with the tranmission to date. (Makes me feel wierd reading all the transmission issues on this site) My new hobby is saving every penny I can think about. I am targeting to drive her to 250k (3 more years) and buy a new Ford. I have read on this website to change the filter and ATF every 30k miles. Obviously, I am not a good listener. The cost of the Motorcraft ATF filter and any mainstream Mercon V doesnt bother me. And I like wrenches so I am all game to open her up. My question, do I even bother since all has been OK at such a high mileage? I have read these transmission can be a little picky, don't want to rock the boat. To date, the ATF is slighty dark red, smells like oil, looks clear. Thanks for your wisdom Tim [/QUOTE]
