He's in Canada though, so the process and warranty requirements may be different there. I think they require a Mountie to present the case before a shaman in a smoke tent or something. Once they come to an agreement everyone shares the royal pudding.

My user manual states:
Transfer Case/Transmission - Inspect each transfer case/transmission component for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired immediately by a qualified technician. Note: The transfer case/transmission and transmission fluid are a completely sealed unit. Therefore, periodic checks and replacement of the transmission fluid are not required, and there is no dipstick on the transmission. Any repairs that require adding or replacing fluid should be performed by a qualified technician following procedures in Lexus service and repair publications. Now granted maybe my Lexus is bulletproof, the user manual instructs service intervals up to "180 months or 150,000 miles" and beyond "Inspect transmission for signs of leakage," nowhere does it say "replace transmission oil" except when towing every 60k miles. So maybe, if you're driving it hard... then this is the equivalent of towing... that I can see. |

You expect them to take a stool sample and send it off to 'the lab'? Nah, just Bubba in the back who sticks his pinky in and tastes it to determine country of origin and phosphorus content. Quote:
The McDonald's cashier saying "yeah I'm pretty sure there's no peanuts in that..." is not the same as the official policy of McDonalds, published by the CEO and Board of Directors. People make mistakes and say wrong stuff all the time. It's human nature. I've done it. Just please be more cautious. Quote:
Second, I'm not sure where you got some of this info from, but a lot of it sounds like made-up monkey nonsense with zero scientific or factual backing. "Clogging check-valves with metal bits". Bruh, if you got metal 'bits' large enough to clog check valves, you got much bigger issues. Third, between the "it's lifetime fluid, guys!" and the "the owner's manual doesn't say anything about a transmission flush!" I think you take the owner's manual a little too literally. Lifetime fluid is pretty much a ruse. Not so much in that it's fake, but more like people don't understand what "lifetime" means. It reminds me of a time someone came on a Tacoma forum who was upset that his tire shop wouldn't balance tires he didn't buy there. "But I bought the lifetime balancing!" Well, yes, but that was for the tires you bought from us. These are different tires. "But it's lifetime!" And someone else joked "good thing you didn't assume they meant your lifetime." The tire shop meant lifetime of the tires - 40k miles. The owner assumed lifetime of the vehicle (I guess) - 300k miles. And the jokester meant the owner's lifetime - 75 years. As far as vehicle manufacturers, "Lifetime" usually means like 90k-150k miles. It's unsure as these exact definitions are not public knowledge. But the vehicle manufacturer has no interest in the 200k or 300k mile mark. If the vehicle makes it to 150k, good job. If it goes farther, that's just a happy accident. Remember, the warranty period is rarely more than 60k miles. That's all they're on the hook for. Quote:
Repeat on the way home. A warmed up vehicle cruising steadily at 70mph for hours on end experiences very little stress compared to a city vehicle. Transmission fluid degradation is almost entirely a function of fluid temperature, which is a function of shifting and high revs. A low-revving vehicle cruising in the same gear will not heat the trans fluid much. It's entirely possible a 300k low-stress vehicle might have better looking original fluid than a 35k mile city car. Quote:

What's a 'royal pudding'? Is it something that Epstein and Prince Andrew would partake?

Try a different transmission fluid. Some are too thin and/or slippery and dont allow synchros to work as well.
