Automatic fluid change conflictind opini - alapppy
Hi

I have a Mazda eunos auto 1990 with 60,000 on the clock. I am not sure when the ATF was changed.. One spacilaist has told that that a change in the fluid could result in more problems and leaks than leaving it alone.. The level looks OK and the fluid not too dirty...Has anyone has problems resulting from changing the fluid on an older car or is it worth doing it anyway?

Thanks for you opinions


Alan

I don't like the sound of not too dirty!
Serviceable fluid shouldn't have a burnt smell to it btw.
You can't usually drain all of the fluid from an auto, but I can't see how introducing some clean fluid could cause leaks.
