Transmission oil report high mileage
I sent a sample of my transmission fluid to Blackstone. As far as I know the fluid has never been changed. I had 157k when I pulled the sample. I consider it pretty good for the mileage on it. But I do plan on doing a few more drain and fill with a filter. Let me know what you think.

Here is a pic of the paper towel test. It smells like trans oil not a burnt smell. And I do know the difference. Been a tech my entire life auto, bike and diesel. I’m very surprised it says the oil is still good.

Consider yourself lucky and this has been discussed in long sessions by many. It is recommended to change it early in life, continuously. But, not recommended with high miles. I'm not changing a damn thing since mine has over 100k, I'm the 2nd owner.

Transmission Flush is not recommended. Drain and Fill can be done even on high mileage cars.
