Also, I do not flush them- I just drain and fill in the new fluid. You got to make your own decision or wait for other responses here and then decide.

Cool, thanks for the tips. Well like i said the car has about 75k miles on it and im going to do the maintenance in 3 steps. To begin i think i will do the tranny and diff fluids, spark plugs, and engine air filter. Unless there is something more urgent that should be done?
