I like to keep things maintained but unlike everything I own I chose NOT TO DO CAR MAINTENANCE MYSELF.
The big debate To flush or not to flush the transmission.
I own a 2013 Chevy Equinox 4cyl. 46,000 miles.
The Chevy dealer I use seems to recommend fluid service per BG recommendations which can differ from the Chevy owners manual. The owners manual says 45,000 for server service or around 97,500 for normal.
1) what is considered normal vs server ?
2) Manual says change fluid but does not say flush.
3) If you were in my shoes what would you do? Considering the car is 6 1/2 years old with only 46,000 miles. My plan is to keep it 10 years then trade for a new car.
A friend of a friend who is a transmission mechanic says to flush system by 50K miles or just let alone.
I would love to hear from a Chevy mechanic vs a guy trying to sell a BG Transmission flush service.
For me this is not a cost issue. I just want to do the right thing. $179 for a flush is cheap insurance but on the other hand. don't want a flush to bust loose sludge and cause problems.
