Must agree. With 107K miles and not knowing if it had ever been flushed in its life, I'd just drop the pan.

Hopefully you should be safe at just 61K and it being still pink. Then again, I don't know what type of abuse your tranny has been through during those 61K miles.

It baffles me how long some people will go w/out changing their rear diff oil, or doing a tranny flush. I know the "manual" says 90k flush, but not me sir. I flush every 30k, so on my 06 w/ just over 90k, I've flushed twice, and about to flush again next month. I have also changed my diff oil 5 times, every 15-20k.

Doing preventative maintenance ahead of its schedule date, along w/ more frequent than requested, will ensure the long life of any vehicle. I abuse my truck daily, some days less than others, but I still will gaurantee I get an easy 200k off my factory powertrain. Just my $.02, and we all know that can't even buy crap these days...

well these are the same people who pay 20,000 or more for a truck/car and then pay 19.99 for an oil change or buy a 2.00 filter and do it themselves....gotta love those Fram SureGrip filters...LOL
