50,000 mile transmission flush, no filters
 

Thought I'd share.

Cost for 50,000 fluid changes in Northern Central Illinois.
I change my own motor oil.

Dealer:

Transmission flush + drop oil plan for filter replace +16 qts: $260
rear diff: $150
front diff $150
trans case $150 Total: $710

Aamco:

Transmission flush + drop oil plan for filter replace +16 qts: $260
rear diff: $110
front diff $110
transfer case $110 Total: $590 minus $10 coupon WOW!

Local Express Lube:

Transmission flush + drop oil plan for filter replace +16 qts: $160
rear diff: $70
front diff $70
trans case $70 Total $ 370.

Well I took it to the local lube shop, which in addition is only 6 blocks from my house.

But I was told there are NO transmission filters available.
The dealer said that in the transfer of Hummer ownership they are acummilating a back log of parts. The dealer cannot get them. So the lube shop did not drop the oil pan. So flush was only $100.

They said my transmission oil had normal wear,
but the rear and front diff. was black.

Interesting #'s. Did they use synthetic lubes?

Is 50K the recommended interval for all that?

50K is the recommended.
Next at 100K.

synthetic dexron III in front rear diff.

nonsythetic dexron VI in trans.
