  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hello,

Sorry in advance if these questions have been answered already on the forum.

So I just got a new to me 2010 3.8 V6 with around 28k miles. (It was driven by an grandma that was only drove locally.) I was looking at the recommended matinience and I will be taking it in for service at 30,000 miles. Any thing to look out for specifically?

The first question is about the transmission fluid. It is approaching 10 years old by now and I am not sure if the previous owner changed the fluids. Is there any way to check before actually flushing the fluid? The car shifts fine

The second question is about a knocking sound in the back when I am turning right. It only happens above 50 mph. I suspect that it is the jack and space tire being so old that it is knocking on the cover ofthe trunk but I will test that out tomorrow. I also read on the forums that it might be the differential carrier bolts. Has any one else had this problem and any insight would be helpful

Thank you
