about how many miles should the ATF be changed. i do mild towing of a single car trailer, alot of commuting to the city and the occasional traffic. everything seems fine now but want to change to a synthetic fluid. i have about 30,000 miles on the fluid now. i also have a v-10 cooler ready when it comes to changing the fluid. as of right now the odometer says 220,063

Dino fluid I try and stay within 25k-30k with mild towing,I'm not sure the extended mileage changes with Synthetic trans fluid,I'd say 50k-100k perhaps?

The fluid in my automatic looks and smells fine, but I'm wondering if I should change it out based on time instead of miles? Anymore I do good to put 10K on the truck in a year.

If 30K is the mileage number, whats the time recommendation for when to change the fluid? Three years?
