Transmission Service?

[MyPrevost]

Wondering what all is involved in a typical transmission fluid and filter change? Is it similar to an oil change? Is this something I could tackle myself? My bus came to me with a fresh change to Transynd. I have about 20,000 miles left before the recommended change, but I’m starting to consider my options.

Thanks,

Adam

Adam, how many miles do you have on that Transynd oil change? It really depends on who you talk to regarding when to change it again after switching to Transynd. Some say 50,000 miles, while others recommend waiting until 100,000 miles. It varies quite a bit!

Hello Adam,

I don’t think you need to do anything at 20K or even 50K. I’d consider 50K a minimum for a complete transmission oil change. Many people don’t change the oil until 100K, maybe just change the filters and top off if they feel the need to do something.

Adam, what part of PaPa telling you to stay out from under the bus didn’t you understand? Protect those well-trained hands and fingers! Joe says he won’t play the fiddle (violin) if you don’t work on the bus.

I have Transynd and have been told 100K for a change. I know BMW claims their transmission oil never needs changing, so maybe miracles are upon us!

Woops, got in trouble again  . All I know is that the sticker on the windshield says to change it soon. I’d have to dig into the bus records to know exactly when it was last changed.
