transmission fluid change

Every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Yes, change the filter when you change the fluid.

That depends on the kind of miles the vehicle is driven. If it is towing a heavy trailer, plowing, etc., then the ATF needs to be changed more often. If the vehicle see's relatively easy use, then a less vigorous change interval can be used. To determine which you need, read your vehicles owners manual and also pull the dipstick for the transmission and look at the fluid, as well as smell it. Good ATF will have a pinkish/reddish color to it, whereas worn out ATF will be much darker in color and smell burnt.

When you say, "feels", like the vehicles MPG's are dropping, how do you mean?

For maximum fuel economy, I would recommend AMSOIL synthetics throughout the drivetrain. My daily driven 1989 Buick Park Ave equipped with the Buick 3.8 litre V-6 engine used to deliver 32.617 mpg on the highway and when I switched it over to AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, the fuel economy skyrocketed to 37.667 mpg. Not bad at all. :-)

All the Best, Steve
