Transmission Fluid Change
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2019 3:17 pm
So, I just hit about 56k on my 2013 SLS and I decided while it was in the shop for tire rotation and oil change, to get the transmission fluid drained and replaced as many have suggested here.
The results were pretty reassuring. No metal flakes or anything. Nothing abnormal about the fluid, no burnt smell, etc. Was a little of color, but that was pretty much the extent of it.
So, Maybe I just changed mine in time.. or maybe I drive like an old man? lol, I don't know.. But, my mechanic said it looked 100% normal. So, hopefully I'll go 100k and beyond!

I'd have to say both! I waited far too long, and, drive the K like I stole it much of the time...because I can, and, it's a real blast since the car is well designed for that style of driving.
