    Is there anything special about the Aisin Transmission fluid versus the 68RFE? I ask as I'm about to have it flushed and I really think the dealership is just trying to charge me for ######## reasons, saying it needs to be mixed and would cost double what a regular one would. After speaking with a diesel mechanic shop that I am familiar with, I've been assured by them that there is nothing special to it and it would run me the average cost of any other transmission flush.

    I'm pretty sure the dealership is doing what the dealership does in order to bleed every cent out of the customers and the mechanic shop is going to get a new customer.

    Thanks for the info!

    Don't let them power flush it, just do a drain, new fluid and filter.

    Use what is recommended by the manufacturer. They won't steer you wrong.
