On your Allison, how often do you change the filter and fluid?

I change all my filters once a year. I change the Allison fluid only when meeded. Its all Transynd in there. Maybe once every 3rd year.

The magnet inside the Allison only had a little residue as well. Seems less and less every passing year. Good thing I guess. [emoji106]

I've always done my filter at 30k intervals Marty. Fluid (Transynd) at about 100k

Good point Mike. I only put about 10 to 12K a year for miles, so about the same for me. I am only at 150,400 miles right now. Lol

That's why I chimed in so Marty could see a high mile one compared. Of course I'm no high miler any more. 7k in the last year since retirement...315k to 322k

I have been changing the red Allison Filter at about every 12,000 to 15000 miles or so, maybe its over kill. I guess its only money, at one time I was getting filters for 10 bucks or less from an Allison Dealer. I have always only seen the gray looking residue when I wiped the magnet off like you guys mentioned. I am approaching 80,000 miles on mileage and I had switched to Transynd at 48,000 miles so I should be good there for a while, which would be years down the road at the rate I drive, mileage wise. I bought an extra gallon of Transynd to have when I change the filter or need to add any fluid.

Oil changes are once a year due to the low amount of miles that I drive. Actually since I retired I am driving a few more miles since I get out and loafer a little more.
