Is there a consensus about changing the transmission fluid and rear axle fluid for an '92 automatic 240 sedan?
Haynes says something while the owner's manual for the 240 says something else.
Thanks.

Wouldn't hurt to flush the transmission every 2 years or 50k miles, rear end can be done less frequently unless you have a limited slip diff.

Green Book says change the ATF every 30,000 miles (if auto box) and add fluid to rear axle when level is down on regular checks.

The transmission fluid should be flushed/replaced (not just changed in the pan) every three or four years - that's more or less the consensus. The gear oil in the differential should probably be replaced every 5 or 6 years, but that isn't as critical as making sure the fluid level is ok. I'd definitely do it at least once if it's never been done.
