Car is at the dealer today, almost at 50k miles and wanted the PTU fluid change with some other odds and ends. They just called me back and said "Our master tech says it should not be serviced due to the manual says it shouldn't be looked into unless there is an issue." I politely replied "I view this just as a transmission of a car... the fluid needs to be changed. I view this as the oil in a car.... wouldn't you change the fluid after so many miles?" He couldn't give me a quote on it, so way i'm looking at is that i told them, "if its over $150, don't bother"

Should i call up a couple of other shops/dealerships around her about it, I don't exactly have an oil pump so i wouldn't know how to go about changing this myself....

Any input appreciated!

Couple people have mentioned getting the PTU fluid changed at some reasonable prices.

yeah, exactly what i'm seeing. I'm 0-2 in dealers around me who will do that. All the tech's say that it is a non-serviceable fluid and there isn't a way to change it.... Might just have to do it myself. Kinda weird, i mean i'm willing to pay a dealership of all places to do it and they are telling me no... LOL

Do any of these dealers offer BG trans service?  Maybe find a place that does that, they might do the PTU service also.

Print out the how-to, grab some oil and go to a local mom and pop shop that has a good reputation. Show them the job and tell them how much they would charge labor, shouldn't be more than $50 or so as it is relatively easy, could be a 15 min job with a lift.
