Hi,

I just wondering, when do i have to change my trans fluid on my cavalier 2000 since i just bought it last month. it has 87,000 miles on it.

also how to check the trans fluid on my car whether it's still good or not? since it doesn't have the stick like the stick for engine oil?
BTW, how often do i have to change my trans fluid?
is it base on miles? or color from the trans fluid?

any suggestion?

Thanks for your answer.

if your not familier with the car i would suggest having a professional check the level. these are a pain to check since there is no dip stick. at 87,000 miles im pretty sure it has not been changed and i would suggest having it done if you plan on keeping the car
