Hi All,
Forgive my noobness in the subject, but I just started being educated in cars and have somewhat of a financial means to take care of mine now. My question is my 2003 tl had its transmission rebuilt back in 2011 with ~150K miles on it. It's sitting at 200K miles on it, and I'm wondering whether or not I should change the AT fluid, or whether or not I should. Reason I'm asking is because according to the service records, a AT fluid flush was performed in 2010 at 121K miles and soon after in 2011 is when it went caput. Do you guys think the same thing will happen again or should I just go for the AT change anyways. Currently, the car shifts fine (smooth shifts) and there are no flares or noticeable transmission noises/issues. The only thing I did notice was that back between 2012-2013 when idling in park, the revs would shoot up for no reason. Thanks in advance for any advice and help.
