Heat is the enemy
Every 20°F increase in fluid temperature roughly halves fluid life. Texas traffic keeps transmissions hot.
Signs it's time
Delayed or harsh shifts, slipping, and dark or burnt-smelling fluid.
Drain-and-fill vs flush
Most manufacturers specify drain-and-fill, which is gentler on high-mileage transmissions.
