The more you come back the more they make, the better you feel especially after the placebo effect when you first drive it again.
That's funny because I only have 127,000 miles on my Explorer and just had to put in a new transmission. I had a trans flush done at about 90,000 and I think I should have done it sooner.

Maybe Phil will chime in later and tell us what Chevrolet's intervals are but I can tell you I will be changing the fluid in the Explorer every 50,000. My first change on the new trans will be after 1000.
