Most agent would reccommend to flush at 40,000Km but many bros here recommend to do at 20,000Km interval if you want your auto transmission to be in tip top condition

[Roy669]

Any idea how much will it cost for fully syn oil flush?

I had mine done at Khangs B4. Brought my own synthetic Dexron III ATF, (RP) at abt $10/qt.

 

Needed 18 qts as my flush every 60K km & old ATF was very dirty. Labour was $50.

 

So my total was abt $230 for fully synthetic ATF flush.

 

Done abt 2 years back, so please check for the current prices.

So is it necessary to do flushing? Is just changing the ATF sufficient?

As what has been mention already, flushing gets more of your ATF replaced (almost 100%). Drain & fill only changes about 1/2 of the ATF in the autobox. So you only get 50% protection.

 

Long b4 they had the flushing system, I did manage to get most of the ATF out by draining first then running the engine & moving the gear to P,R,1,2&3. Much more ATF flowed out but I was later advised by a mech not to do this as it might cause the clutch plates to get burned due to lack of lubrication.

 

Another way is to drain & fill & drive for a while then repeat process till u get bright red ATF when u drain. This tells u that you have replaced most of your ATF by then. This method is quite troublesome. Just pay $50 for the labour charge & get the flushing done.
