Number 3 on the Maintenance Minder tells you to change your transmission fluid. It doesn't tell you when to change it under normal conditions, but under severe conditions it says to change it at 60,000 miles, so normal conditions would give you much more than that, meaning you will probably be able to legally drink in most states by the time you get that many miles on your car and then you can legally drink while you change your tranny fluid.

As long as you don't drink the tranny fluid, and pour the whiskey sour in your tranny.

I change every 30K and use the best fluid that is compatible. These trannies are marginal, and it only holds about 7 quarts, total. Change out is 3 quarts. I have done it twice to achieve over an 80% concentration of Amsoil ATF.
