Hi fellas
I have a 2007 Aurion and I've had this since early 2016. Currently has done 130000km. I've serviced the car regularly (102k, 112k, 122k) and did change the front rotors and rear parking break shoes in that last service. I'm planning to do the next service at 135k.
The resale value of the car is pretty low so I think I will be keeping it for a while. I'm thinking about doing a transmission fluid change at the next service.
I don't know if the transmission fluid was replaced at any time during the last 11 years though. I guess it is safe to assume if hasn't been.
One concern I have is that I've heard people say if the transmission fluid hasn't been changed in a long time, doing a full flush can cause issues than any good. I don't know how long is "long time".
What would you do in my situation? Do a full flush or just a change (i.e. leave some of the old oil)
I don't have the experience, tools or the time to do this. I've looked at some online quotes and they seem to charge around $180-250 for it. Does it sound about right? Need to check if this is for a full flush or change.
Is there anything I need to watch out for when doing a transmission fluid change?
Cheers
