Transmission services offered by dealers and shops are woefully inadequate.

To prevent wear and tear on your transmissionchange about a gallon of transmission fluid once a year.

Remove the old transmission fluid through the dipstick tube by using an oil extractor and replace with an equal amount of new transmission fluid.

Never drain transmission fluid by removing the transmission pan and gasket. Replacing the pan and gasket will be problematic.

Don't "wait" until it is too late and your transmission starts to have serious problems. When problems do occur, changing the fluid doesn't help and can make things worse. At this point, it's a waste of money.
