Cars, etc.

I know you didn't ask me, but whatever, I didn't think you would mind.

I always heard that you should never change the ATF in Fords, but I don't know why.

I had a MOPAR once that would not move in any gear but reverse. Had the shop change the ATF and filter and it ran fine until I got a new car. (Company car, I always do most of my own work on mine)

Seems to me 15 years is too long to go without changing it though.

I would smell the fluid on the dipstick. If it smells burnt at all, I would change the fluid and the filter.

BTW, what made you ask?

I am one that doesn't like to screw with things unless they are broken, but I also believe in routine maintenance.

I kind of walk a fine line since I have so many cars on the road.

Have fun,
Phil
