The fluid can be hard to read on the stick.

I changed mine at 75k and again at 130k. At nearly 150k now, the fluid is light to medium pink when on a white paper towel.

I use Valvoline Max Life ATF.

New Carpet

Good afternoon,

Has anyone replaced their carpet in their PF? Mine is beyond cleaning after 9 years of kids, dogs, etc.

Do they sell a carpet kit that comes precut?

Thanks
