I purchased my 2008 Ram 1500 about a week ago. I am having my mechanic look it over on Friday. Should I have him do a transmission oil change? I don't have any service records but I know the previous owner towed a lot with it. It was a lease so I am assuming the previous owener did not put too much time or money into it. Also, can someone explain the benefits of the transmission oil change? How often should it be done? I will not be towing much with the truck.
Thanks for the info all. Is this something I should be able to tackle myself or is it best left for my mechanic? Shouldn't be too much more difficult than changing oil....me thinks!
