Original tranny fluid at 205k miles: would you change it?

It’s also pretty easy to check if it full or not. You from cold run it for 5 min and then unscrew the check plug while the vehicle is running and any excess fluid will drain out putting it at the correct level. If none comes out just add some and then try again.


The dealership I took mine to confirmed that it was the full 14 quart exchange not just a drain and fill. But I guess that could be different elsewhere.
