How often do you change...????
I don't have a service manual...therefore, thank you for the answers.
How often (what mileage) do you change the primary oil? Or what does the book say?
How often (what mileasge) do you change the tranny oil? Or what does the book say?
Engine oil ... I change every 3000-4000 miles
This is not what oil you use, I don't need that info and I don't want to start anything ....

The owners manual says change the engine oil and filter every 5,000 miles, change the primary fluid every 10,000 miles and change the transmission fluid every 20,000 miles.
I do the engine every 5,000 and both the primary and transmission fluids every 10,000 miles.

As posted earlier is the norm but I personally do oil at 5k with synthetics or semi and just do primary same time. Tranny I'm fine with 20k since I use redline. Everyone does what feels good for them and some more often.

Personally, I would recommend changing everything at the same time, everytime. I do and have not had any bearing or compensator trouble by doing this (so far.) Its only an extra 2 1/2 qts and will not hurt anything at all, only help.
