You might heard of the story already but during the Vietnam War, the American bombed his people and killed half of his family members.  His father took him when he was only 2 years old and went hiding in the dense forest of Vietnam.  His father later died and he had no choice but to come back to civilization.  The guy lived in the jungle since 2 years old and thought the vietnam war was still going on thus why he stayed out of the modern world.  He has never seen a woman before as well so he thought they never existed.   :idiot2:

With modern life comes modern food.  He eats processing food and drinking liquor.  Now he died of liver disease.   The story is here. 

Real-life 'Tarzan' who lived in the jungle for decades after escaping the Vietnam War dies of cancer

So what does his story has to do with an automatic transmission?  Well had the guy not eating processed food or drinking liquor, he would of lived a tad longer.  Same thing can be said with an automatic transmission fluid that was neglect.  If you never change your transmission fluid and has high mileage on your vehicle, it is better not to change your coffee color looking fluid as that is what helps to grip to shift your transmission.  The moment your flush or change it all out, your transmission will start slipping and a rebuilt or buying a new transmission is very expensive, in the thousands. 

What you can do is to do a drain and fill.  Change out 2 quarts, drive 500 miles and change 2 more quarts.  Do this a few more times and the fluid will dilute itself and show a red color.  Also, it is better to buy OEM or dealership transmission fluid.  It is their vehicle so buy their chit.   O0

Now with modern cars with CVT transmission, ha, forget about it although i'm digging the E-CVT transmission.  Like those of the prius hybrid, their cvt trannie can runs pass the 300k mileage part.  Why is this the case?  Well ECVT does not have gears or pulley.  Gears are like teeths.  Wear and tear will dull them teeth. 

More people should ask the hmong expert about their car problems on here.  I'm down to learn on how to trouble shoot for problems.  Remember that mechanic fix cars.  Technician only change parts.  Like the dealership has 1 mechanic and a bunch of techs.   :2funny:
