Should I change my tran fluid?
Wuz uo guys,
I recently found out that this auto shop dirty all my fluids. Coolant, power steering, brake, and tranny. I found out when I did a oil change at acura and they did an inspection. I don't know what they did to the tran fluid but should I do a 3x3 trans or a drain and a fill? I'm scared I might mess up the tranny if I do a 3x3. I recently bought the car with 75k mile on it and don't know if the previous owner did any transmission fluid change. Thanks for replying to this matter.

how many threads are you going to start on this matter?
Please explain about the dirty fluids- your description isnt clear
what does the invoice/receipt say was done? type fluids, amount of each fluid?
with only 75 I wouldnt expect anyone to have done trans fluid service in the past
Are you sure its on the original transmission?- look at bolt heads on trans for blue paint--thats a warranty unit and would have come with new fluid~
if you find the shop put `dextron3` fluid in trans- then a 3x3 is required!!!!!!!!!
If you just want to change some fluid, do a basic 3 qt drain and refill
