Bought a Suburban once that probably never had it changed and the SUV had been used to tow horses at one point. Worst transmission I had; fluid was pitch black as soot and yet it was so thick that you couldn't move the gear shift easily so maybe the seller pulled a used car lot trick. The trans rear gear went under a month after purchase. I still have it since I had someone work on it for relatively cheap; $1,100 in 2015. He did it as a side job out of his garage.

Your health, bank account, and the environment would improve significantly. Driving is a lot more costly than most of us think.

Hey Scotty! Thanks for the information on transmission fluids.

Love your videos! You always look just a little bit on the Tipsy side!! 😁 Great info, and love the way you present them!

Great video, you really demystify what can go wrong with an automatic transmission on a "modern car"! Unfortunately, I bought Ford's line about not changing the transmission fluid on my 2011 F-150 until I saw one of your videos. I did it at around 134K, but I drive very gently and don't pull a trailer, so hoping that it will go over 200K miles now. During the fluid change, the mechanic said the fluid looked pretty clean, and the magnet had normal break-in shavings. I will change it close to 60K miles from now on and follow your other tips. Thanks, brother!

Wow this is a mind blowing video. Thank you

This is awesome and simple! Unreal! Thanks Scotty

I really like your tips on caring for our cars, thank you 🙂

Excellent, top shelf advice Scotty, thank you for sharing your tips. You've helped thousands. We really appreciate you !

Scotty, that is the most in depth video for cars. I am in the midst of rebuilding my transmission. So it is an adventure.

Another reason to keep your cooling system in good shape is that some transmission coolers are built into the radiator, if the radiator gets too hot it can crack, and if this happens to the passage with the transmission cooler the coolant will get blown into the transmission creating a strawberry milk shake that will dissolve the clutches in your transmission.

Thank You Scotty! 👍👍

great video , tons of good info , I find myself recommending your vids to more+more people , please keep up the good work ;-)

Good one. Most cars have trans temps via ODBII which is great. Separating transmission cooling from that of the engine is something to consider by installing a third party cooler.
