Re: How often does everyone change their ATF?

I changed my fluid again yesterday (so about 1200 miles driven since the last service), so now there should be about 70% new DW-1 fluid and 30% old Z-1. Slightly smoother perhaps, I think the biggest difference was after the first change. I've driven about another 50 miles since the 2nd change, and it's doing well so far.

Oh, and I also grabbed the updated ATF dipstick and installed it :P. It is indeed nicer!
