    Just curious...

    For those that go off roading, how often do you change your transmission fluid? Or do you flush it?

    My BIL was told that don't have to do either.

    Thoughts?

    I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I think i remember the transmission flush is recommended at 60k if you tow or offroad a lot and 100k for normal driving. I did mine at 90k and it was dark red small kind black.
