850 Transmission Fluid Exchange

Post by dcunited122 »

Ok, so I bought my 850 about 2 months ago and I Just now checked the transmission fluid and it was not pretty. There wasn't any red on the dipstick just brown. So I made an appointment to get a fluid exchange, anyway the point I'm trying to get to is that I've heard that people have bad fluid, get an exchange but then the transmission goes bad. Is this true? I don't know when was the last time mine was changed but should I get it changed? Thanks

It's an easy DIY project. I would change the fluid.
