Which may be justified, but I plan on running out the clock with this little EV Hot Rod.I'm going to be changing the ATF sometime this summer (@ ~ 35-40 k miles, not the recommended 97 k.) I'll be doing it the low-tech way by draining and refilling with the exact same amount that came out.I'll be using the recommended Dexron HP. I found it for ~$14 qt. (How much do I need?)And I'll be getting an oil analysis sample kit from the local CAT (heavy equipment) service center. It's a small sample bottle and a post-paid padded envelope. The results are emailed. I'll post them here.</blockquote>
