look in your owners manual. I think it's like 30k miles. My car is at 32k and I've changed my tranny and diff oil 3 times.

I changed mine with Redline ~ 3,000 Miles. the redline make a noticeable difference in the shifting smoothness...plus I wanted to change it early to maybe remove any tiny metal particles that could have been trapped in the transmission from manufacturing.

See Sig. It does smooth out shifting.

I just have the Royal Purple Max Gear Syn fluid in the trany and diff. I bought 4 qts and have about .75 qt left over.

the trany took almost 2qt I think and the diff took just over 1qt. So far 2100 miles on the fluid and better than ever.
