I bought a 2007 Honda Accord LX 4 cylinder with 45000 miles in 2010. I was the second owner. It was a leased car bought in an auction.
Since I didn't know that much about cars I did a drain and refill 1x on the transmission fluid at 72000 miles. My mechanic at 72000 told me that the fluid was dark and magnetic had a lot of shavings on it.
I did 1x drain and refill on the transmission fluid last week at 90,000 miles.
Now I hear that you are supposed to do a drain and refill at 3x1 at 30000 miles or a 1x drain and refill at 10,000 miles.
I am afraid my transmission will have problems at 100,000 miles and I think I should sell it soon.
My dealer tells me at 30K they are supposed to do 1x drain and refill only.
I am going to do another drain and refill at my independent service next week.
What is everyone's opinion?
Should I sell the car?
When will the automatic probably fail due to my ignorance?
