    Oil Change on 2009 F-250 Diesel

    I just left the new car lot, I'm thinking about trading in my 2001 F-250 diesel for a new 2009 model. I asked the salesman about changing my own oil.

    Transmission Service

    We've all changed our engine oil and filter, but have you changed your transmission fluid and transmission filter yourself? How much trouble is it? Are there any online DIY guides. I have a 2001 F-250 and want to try it myself, but would like a little advice first. Thanks.
