[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2081422, member: 15054"] every 2 years i drain and refill the radiators in my vehicles.(race cars every year different mix for summer and winter).I have owned over 250 vehicles by the time i was 24. I build engines and transmissions and rearends..well actually have built many of my own cars from shells.. i do it all. BUT the trans and rearend service most people do not worry with..every 20,000 miles or sooner i drain and refill. Front wheel drive automatics: I drain and fill every other oil change.. usually only 3 quarts in my 4 cylinder stuff. Never any issues for me to get 250,000 trouble free miles from my cars.. Longest one lasted me 376,000 hard miles..pizza delivery and trailer hauling ..drivetrain was still excellent..but the car fell apart around it...Too many rough outings while fishing and hunting i guess.. That car had a lot of air under the tires many times... Like stated..skip the flush..just drain and refill if you can.. That is for all fluids...If there is a filter ..go ahead and replace it also.
