Good idea to replace the fluids, for sure. I always do all new fluids when I buy a car, regardless of past maintenance history.

I don't think it would hurt to use it and I don't think I would stay away from it if it was time for mine to be done. Quality new fluid is better than old worn stuff.

This trans doesn't have a pan, just a drain plug, so no pan to drop. It does have a filter, but it's internal and can only be gotten to if the trans is removed and pulled apart

I understand it's just a screen.
Probably on the side of the transmission.
big plate facing forwards.
I'm not seeing a direct reference to it in the factory service manual.
Making me wonder if it's somewhere else weird.
and maybe I'm thinking of the 4t65...
It makes me want to add a cooler line filter...
And I did a series of 3 drain & fills with the wife's Buick, had her drive it for good week between.
I might just grab an ATSG manual for $30, questions need answers...

I'm using Valvoline Dex/Merc in the Blue Gallon. It's multi-vehicle for GM Dexron III. It's cheaper and recommended to be used in vehicles older than 2006. Mine is a 2000 4L60E and it works just fine. This is the first time I have ever used Multi-Vehicle Fluid.
