[AT] Fluid flushing auto - OT

[D8RMAN at aol.com]

Carl, I am not sure about the exact interval but most all manufacturers  
recommend something similar. There are speciality tools for testing brake 
fluid  and antifreeze. The transmission fluid and filter change along with 
flushing the  torque convertor is a good idea. Willard Smith, Yakima, WA.

Just  looking for opinions on fluid flushing.  Had my Impala serviced  
yesterday and the writer noted that it was approaching 30K miles and said  
that the recommended procedure for the tranny was to flush between 30 - 60  
K 
miles.  This seemed normal to me and I told him I would do it  sometime in 
the future - I'm thinking about 50 K miles.  When I  picked up the car he 
also pushed me to have the brake fluid and  powersteering fluids serviced 
at 
the same time.  Is this normal -  worth doing - or just another way to 
generate cash for the dealer?  I  have not seen this dealer push 
unnecessary 
services before - just a  newrt  car thing or a good idea to do anyway?
