So, even if the CarFax report is fine and good as far as maintenance goes the transmission still died and early death. |
If you go to the next page it says to replace the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles if you: tow, use a top box, excessive idling or low speed driving, or drive on dusty or gravel roads.
EDIT - This vehicle has an oil change computer that varies oil changes from 3,000 to 10,000 miles based on vehicle loads and driving conditions. If the car was routinely calling for oil changes every 10,000 miles that 150K ATF change might be OK. (Personally I wouldn't go that far). If it was calling for more frequent oil changes you are on a more severe usage and therefore more frequent maintenance schedule.
