I just did an ATF flush and fill at a valvoline today...just wondering do i need to flush and fill the differential fluid and/or transfer case fluid as well?

from what i read on this site there is no differential fluid change on a 4th gen automatic transmission

does anyone know the answer to this?

 

front wheel drive car.

the differential is inside the transmission, and there is no transfer case.

 

THIS.

ATF is all you need to change, as there isn't anything else.

You don't have an outback, so you don't have separate front/rear differentials or anything like that.

 

 

and just hope that flush didnt eff something up. BAD IDEA

 

thanks for the followup on this

yeah i did ask the tech doesn't flushing possibly flush up debris into the transmission and his answer was that the magnet at the bottom of the pan would prevent that

it didnt really look like much of a flush, just siphoning out old dirty fluid and injection of bright clean new red fluid

btw they use dexron III i believe

 

flushing is bad, stirs up too much ****. Bleeding is the right way to change ATF on a most likely unserviced high mileage car.
