Oil Systems change

0mega9 · 07-22-2012, 04:45 PM

Hi guys...
Trying to keep my girl running at 100%...
To that end, I wanted to know if changing the engine oil at a pro shop will automatically involve changing the transmission oil..?

I like to go to the shop and have the engine flushed, maybe request that the oil pan be removed and rinse for deposits... As well as changing the tranny and break oils.

Changing the engine oil at a pro shop will NOT automatically involve changing the transmission oil - these are 2 different jobs.
Having the oil pan dropped and cleaned will be a costly "special request."
