There is a newer change schedule published now. A transmission with a retarder is severe duty, so 24 months or 50,000. Google it and it will come up/

On an unrelated nots how does one go about including a link via copy and paste?

Copy and paste a link to the post. Highlight it. Then at the top the link icon will turn a darker color. Click on that and a drop down box will appear. Copy the link in that box and click on the OK box.

As to the service interval, Allison has a service calculator based on your annual coach usage. I presume I am running the average miles of a typical motor home owner and the service interval it suggested because I have a retarder was 150,000 miles or 4 years. I presume there are all kinds of service intervals, such as those listed on the PDF file I linked to above, but 4 years seems to be the norm unless the mileage exceeds 150,000 during that period.

Below is the link to a thread on another forum where a contributor is the retired engineer that created the TES295 transmission fluid standard. He is also the co-owner of an oil analysis company.

Hi Jon,

I can copy the link to my clipboard, but when I try to paste it to the forum post when I right click insterad of the usual choices only aligh and format block appears. It seems to be a part of the forum as opposed to windows clipboard selections?

What am I missing

Mikee, follow the instructions I listed above. If nothing else just cut and paste the link and when the post appears Tom or I will make it a clickable link.

Mikee,

Instead of using copy and paste with your mouse, use Ctrl C to copy and Ctrl V to paste. You will then be able to highlight the link, which then lights up the chain picture above where all the functions are located, then just follow along.

Thanks Tom,

That works great.
