If you have a car that comes with sealed transmission, Are you supposed to change the oil every 100000 miles?

I have a 2001 chevy malibu and it has 94000 miles on it. I know that a tune-up and transmission oil change must be done after the 100000 in more of the american cars.If you have a car that comes with sealed transmission, Are you supposed to change the oil every 100000 miles?
Check you owners manuel for recommended service intervals. You may think your tranny is seal but you can still have the level checked on this and you can still service it. It will be kinda pricy because the filter kit is expensive on this cars. NOTE: Ask questions and be sure they can srvice it. Some quick lube shops wont even touch your car because they are not familiar with the trans so make sure they check it to see if it is something they can do. Of coarse I already know LOL so anyquestions feel free to ask.If you have a car that comes with sealed transmission, Are you supposed to change the oil every 100000 miles?
You simply must do it. If not - it is very dangerous not only for you but to all people around you.
You can change it on a sealed.... these sealed transmissions are a load of crap.... they need servicing or you'll be ending up buying a new one (which is more then likely what they want)... at 94,000 miles... some would treat it as a black box.... leave it till it goes because thats too long of a run on the original fluid, and sometimes after changine it, the transmission starts acting up.
IF it has never been changed, I would not recommend changing it now. It should have been done at about 30,000 mile intervals. which means, 3 times by now? Often, your transmission has become used to the old, dirty, sticky fluid and if you put new, clean fluid in, it will remove all the build up and deposits that MAY be keeping your trans working as is. If anything, just drain what you can without flushing, and add enough new fluid to hit the fill line.
you can't, on a sealed tranny!
no a lot of newr vehicles use a synthetic type of oil and should not be changed un less there is a problem wich requires breaking th transmission case apart. to be certain on your specific model consult yor maintenance schedule in your owners manual or a gm dealer
