Your transmission has a drain plug, making it easy to 'drain and fill'. Remember that you will replace only about half of the transmission fluid this way. At 36,000 miles, I would start now and do a drain and fill every 2nd or 3rd oil change (every 10,000 to 15,000 miles). This will keep the average age of the fluid under 30,000 miles.
The orange 'Dexcool' coolant is rated for a 5 year life. I would shade that a bit and change every 4 years. / ================ To send a response, just hit reply! The Saab Network - On the Internet Since 1988 http://www.saabnet.com/
