Transmission fluid every 10k? Isn’t the first change recommended at 100k?

It’s usually every 30k. Always do a drain and fill, never a flush.

Yep, I’ve never flushed it. My transmission is super smooth.

You’re definitely doing something right, though 10k might be overkill.

I wouldn’t wait that long. Even at 10k, mine is completely black.

Glow plugs? Are you in Europe?

Oh, I meant spark plugs! I’m into RC hobbies, so I sometimes mix up the terms.

My hybrid is at 195k. I’ve been thinking about getting a truck now that I’m done with college, but it’s hard to let go of such a reliable car. It’s a 2018 Fusion Hybrid that I bought new…
