speaking of which I'm probably going to check mine later...

the instructions for the "recharge" kit say after oiled let dry for 20 min. i did mine mid oil change and just bullshitin with my dad in the garage. i think mine sat about 45-60 min before i installed then i backed it out to give it a quick wash........then into the garage at home for a day since it was cold and stormy monday lol



soooo yea this time isnt a great example of a dry time to good to drive scenario :bowrofl:



i will say if you pick up the filter and theres drops running down it or a ring on the ground, wipe the excess off, and let sit a bit longer. you may have gone a little heavy but it'll dry.

150k without changing ATF. I ended up changing it a few months ago and now I need a rebuild lol

I like to change ATF every 40000-50000 miles. Or sooner, if it gets very dark or smelly. 100000 miles is way too long.

While there is a bit of truth to the don't-change-if-miles-are-high theory (mainly with older ATs), it's not gospel. Depends on the lube and what's being lubed. With modern ATs/ATFs, it shouldn't be a problem.

As I know, the maintenance guide does not say other fluids are also maintenance free.

Rather it says the engine oil must be changed on some specific intervals.

Years ago, I asked what motor oil to use (when I didn't know any motor oil thread was not welcomed and closed), then someone answered to me that the best engine oil for my 370Z is an extra virgin olive oil.

Fortunately I did not know how to change oil by myself either, and later found out at a dealership that it must have been just a joke.

If I did, maybe I really might have tried it and sent my used sample for oil analysis..

:eek:

You know, not all modern automatic transmissions are maintenance-free.

I actually somewhat agree to that no-change-at-high-miles theory because in my experience my Z got pretty faster acceleration (like having higher torque) just after its ATF change at around 100K miles, but soon some weeks later after all it got broken.

I guess that previous transmission must have malfunctioned after its fluid change anyway ..

:wtf:

once again, OP, i find most of your threads and posts appalling and disturbing....



OP, no offense, but you specifically made a thread because you didn't know how to work the paddle shifters, which to me translates to you don't know how to drive an automatic....it's no mystery that your tranny went bye bye.
