I am thinking of purchasing a 2011 Chevy Impala LTZ with 50000 miles on it. Is it safe to flush the transmission with this amount of miles?

Asked by nicki52731 Sep 06, 2013 at 08:22 PM about the 2011 Chevrolet Impala LTZ FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have no idea what the previous maintenance was on this vehicle. I currently own a 2006 Ford Explorer that I purchased with 24000 miles that now has over 250000 miles which I have maintained on a regular basis with both oil changes and transmission flushes. Is 50000 miles to high to begin with especially when I don't know if the previous owner was regular with the maintenance?

Read the owner's manual for the change period, some mech. will tell you don't mess with it if there is nothing wrong. The most I would do it drain the fluid, change the filter and refill with tit correct fluid.

Check the fluid color. Normal change is around 100K. If it brings peace of mind, change fluid and filter only, no flush unless the oil is burnt and dirty.

So I recently bought a 2008 Impala from a small time dealer. It has 65000 plus miles on it and is under a 3000 mile 60 day warranty, I took it back to the dealer and asked him to look at it because I felt it was shifting bad, He said there was nothing wrong with it and unfortunately i didnt get any paper work. so i took it on my own and got it checked and it needs a new transmission, i went back and told the dealer and he wont pay for it unless i take it to where hewants to have it looked at 5 Answers
