Stan, Go read my comments on Suburban towing on the Tractor talk board. I mention getting 100K more miles out of a 87 auto tranny by cutting the tranny loose from the Factory radiator cooler and useing the largest Aux-cooler I could get as a stand-alone cooler. Is a oil change that just does the pan and filter alone a half@ss oil change you be the judge.... The rest of the story is....At the place where I got my oil changed, I was visiting with the owner about tranny oil changes and how it would add longivity to the trannys life. He suggested to Not do a full blown oil change on it for the tranny allready had about 120 on it and we were not sure whenit was changes last. We bought it at 75K miles,
Anyway he suggested that the tranny may allready have some wear and putting a full oil change onit would "thin" the oil too much and bring on failure, So,,,,he suggested to "evac" out the 3 or 4 qt in the pan only. He had a Evac unit that would suck out the oil through a tube run down the tranny dip stick tube. I did this every 2nd or 3rd enging oil change. As I said in the other post I got another 100K out of that tranny before It needed work.
Now back to your question.... Yes in a way! but by the very nature of this thing It is OK unless the oil gets burnt. That is my opinion, Other factors are how much towing you do? How abusive are you to the tranny, Not overloading the truck/car causing overheating situations. etc., etc., etc. Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.
