And it was a fast lesson that there are more than a handful of transmission fluid types.
If they got it wrong, there could be trouble.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_transmission_fluid for reference. About a dozen out there.
Who knew?
My son had his transmission flushed at a quicky oil change place because they told him it was "black, not red like it was supposed to be", the next day he drove about 60 miles and his check engine light came on and the car started smoking. The Ford dealer tells us that the transmission fluid is "burned up". The dealer said it "could be" due to something the quicky oil change place did wrong but the oil change place is denying any liability. It seems too coincidental. The dealer says the transmission has to be replaced and will cost $7,000. How should we proceed?
