4.6 Transmission Flush Among Other Things

[ASHDUMP]

They now are recommending power steering fluid replacement. Anyone had that done? I declined.

I would check and see if Hyundai recommends a transmission flush. The manufacturer not the dealer. There is a difference between what the manufacturer says needs done and the dealer recommends to make more money.
Honda recommends against transmission flushes. I have had two Hondas with over 250,000 miles that never had the transmission oil changed . You can not even change the transmission filters on a lot of them now because it is buried inside , the transmission has to be disassembled to get to it.

I would like to know where you came across this information considering in many Honda vehicles that I have seen the severe service interval is 60,000 miles for Honda transmissions. It is published and in their owners manuals.

I don't have any information on Honda's, but maybe he is talking about newer ones that are designed to use synthetic fluid. I know that on the Genesis, it is somewhat difficult to change the fluid, and they seem to discourage people from doing it. Obviously, regardless of the auto manufacturer, that does not hold true for their older vehicles.
