HI Will,

Any update on this second change? Getting ready to do mine. I do see in some of your other posts that everything is ok with the Maxlife but I'm particularly interested in the second fluid analysis. Not sure if you every posted the results of the second analysis. Thanks.

Second fluid analysis already shown - look at the link in the post prior to yours :D

I now have over 5K miles since the fluid change and everything is still going perfect :thumbup:

Sorry Will, My bad. I thought you were planning to do another analysis after the second change, which I guess meant third analysis. :dunno:

But good to hear 5K and going strong.:thumbup:

I will do a 3rd analysis once I change fluid at about 10-15k miles.

But keep posting - I "love" seeing your avatar picture!
