So we were in for our regular engine oil change and the dealer said our tranny oil was black and we should have it flushed. $189. Seems steep. Checked the owner's manual and it doesn't say anything about it. I see on the web some people are for it and some against it claiming the flush can clog up the tranny and cause it to fail. They recommend dropping the pan changing what oil is there and replacing the filter, though you'll end up with a mixture of new and old oil that way.
Its a 2006 automatic with around 48k miles on it, the wife's car, so I better not get it screwed up.
Opinions? Not inclined to take it back to the dealer to have it done for $189 if I do have it done.
