My 02 has a 30k service coming up. The manual say I need to basically change all the fluids even transmission. I am going to go out on a lim and say that it is probably over kill. But nonetheless I will follow the manual's instructions. Where would you guys recommend doing this? I have no warranty and would like to take it somewhere trustworthy. Dealer? Thanks in advance.

diff fluid definitely but tranny fluid maybe not so much since mine came out clean and clear at 30k miles. diff fluid was black and filthy.

But isn't he in SF? Do I have any options in the South Bay? You guys are dedicated to drive that far!

thanks guys for the support. i changed a member here on the forums. and everytime i change the tranny fluid. the fluid comes out clean. but everyone says taht they notice a change in the shifting.

it is not overkill. i actually heard from alot of people that changing the tranny fluid is supposed to be sooner. given the fact that you use the tranny every day. especially during traffic...

id change all the fluids.

change them....both are actually easier to change than the engine oil.....dang oil filter gets everything dirty
many people here change tranny and diff oil every 1 year / 15K mi
