It's got around 97k and the owner's manual said something like 90k severe service, 110k normal service. The other day my wife said the money light came ON and I checked it and it's a transmission TCC code. Had already planned on the ATF fluid service.I'm done for the night though...1. I stripped one of the pan bolts heads. 8mm pan bolts, seriously? almost as good as if they'd used drywall screws. 2. The oil filter broke at the neck. I had to chisel it out in pieces. 3. The magnet was loaded with grit. 4. I just stripped a pan bolt threads reinstalling the pan! I was using a 1/4 torque wrench, and some of the bolts had started clicking. I think some of threads had silicone, maybe that messed up the torqing?</blockquote>
