Really? That's what you think is in play here?
A. 99% of the population never change the trans fluid themselves.
B. GM recommends changing it every 100,000 miles. That's hardly a ploy to get you in the service department to make all kinds of money for GM.
C. I don't see much point in CHANGING fluid by draining the pan when there's still a lot of fluid in the transmission. It's either a multi-step process or a trip to a transmission shop to do a FLUSH.
