You can read the earlier posts. I too thought it would be fine to 'Engine Off Coast' my automatic transmission car in neutral, but I've been educated that on most automatic transmission cars, if the engine is not turning, lubrication is not cycling through the transmission components. Those cars that can safely 'EOC' are approved for "flat towing", also known as "dinghy towing". Those that are not approved for "flat towing" cannot be 'EOC'd safely due to the lack of transmission fluid circulation with the engine off. A list of vehicles approved and not approved for "dinghy towing" is available here: at motorhome (dot) com (forward slash) download-dinghy-guides
