[QUOTE="ichiwan2, post: 106097, member: 153"] OT, but same principle U shud also regularly flush ur auto gearbox fluid at regular intervals too. Must remember that the auto slushbox generates a lot of heat which causes the ATF to degrade over time. I normally remove about two litres and replace with fresh ATF on my Citroen (low mileage - 8 yr old car with only 78,000 km on the odometer) slushbox annually. This is done through the opening of the drain plug on the tranny. Those with higher mileage should consider the full flush using the specialised machines. it is maintenance, maintenance, maintenance. p.s. Another often forgotten maintenance item - the coolant/radiator. p.p.s Brake fluid - I have seen rusty water come out of the brake lines n calipers at the workshop (not mine!). If you don't regularly flush ur brake fluids, u r more likely to get rust inside your brake system. Could cause your brake pistons to rust - check it out when you do the next brake service (replace seals and flush system). [/QUOTE]
