Changing tranny fluid

[John Suter]

Hi Bob,

I try to avoid speculation in favor of facts
whenever possible so the best answer I can offer is
the objective: to purge the system of the residual
non-synthetics, and achieve a true 100% synthetics as
soon as possible.

When I began the switch to synthetics (engine and
transmission; coach and cars), I asked that the
systems be "pressure purged" (blown out) and during
the first year I observed the same fluid and filter
schedule as prior to switching. Others may argue that
is super-cautious. My feeble response would be, "I
can more easily afford a bit on the extra fluid and
filters rather than on any catastrophic costly
failure." My only caveat is to be your own judge, but
try to avoid the "penny wise and pound foolish"
syndrome.

Another thing I learned along the way is to watch
for misleading terms such as products and services
labeled "blended synthetics" which are not true 100%
synthetics. This term, and others like it found in
small print, are especially common in the automobile
field.
