2004 TL automatic transmission?
I have an 04 TL with 107000 miles on it and have not done anything to the transmission, it has original filter, fluid, etc. It is 95% highway driving and still shifts fine and fluid is still red.
Now what should I do? leave it alone, start doing 3x3 changes, change filters???

Do a 1x3 change first and see how things go.
The ATF change is the Maintenance Minder "3" service in the MID.
Perform the timing belt, water pump, etc. per the "4" service already?

If the fluid is still red, the fluid has been changed at some time as it is only a dye, and the fluid will change color over time, and certainly will not retain the "red" color after 6 year/100,000 miles.
If not done a 3 x 3 change is fine and you'll not have any problems, it's time.

I just changed my tranny fluid yesterday @75900mi, and I feel a huge difference. Not sure if it was done before my ownership(Jan'10).
What is 3X3 changes and 1X3 change?? I read that 3 tranny fluid changes is equal to one full tranny fluid flush, plz correct me if I'm wrong. How often should tranny fluid be changed? Thanks in advance for the advice.
Peace.

The book says to change it every 30,000 after the first 60,000 I think.
