I too would refer to manual. Newer cars are different,then older carsfor service. My older car I was changing it every 25,000 untill my garage had the machine, and that has 179,000miles on it (Still squeals the tires on a front wheel drive car.Well ok one tire!!)

That machine is called a T-Tech machine. That's another thing that I've contemplated. When you use a T-Tech, you recycle ALL of the fluid out. However, you don't get to the filter. When you drop the pan, you can change the filter, but you don't get ALL of the fluid.
Currently my strategy is to alternate. I dropped the pan last time. Next will be the T-Tech.
