Yeah thanks, Tormont will do it and they send it out so it is about a week, was looking for something now but doesn't appear to be anything in Ottawa like that. I will go that route.
I didn't actually do it. My main concern was the antifreeze which I ended up putting one of the filters that recharges the antifreeze on for now. I am actually going to with this guy http://www.jglubricantservices.com/ who I found through and RV forum. Due to information from him I have switched the auto trans fluid in the American Eagle from Dexron III (btw which is no longer licensed by GM and so does not really need to meet any spec, careful about buying budget Dexron III) to Castrol/Allison Transynd. It is $207 for the 19l pail and I have to do it twice to flush it properly which sounds like a lot but currently the filters in the Allison are supposed to be changed every 5000 miles at $100 a pop and the Dexron III at 25000 miles. With the Transynd the filters are changed only at 75000 miles and the oil is good for 300000 miles which is the life of the motorhome. Now I know I will never drive that many miles but I will have about 8000 miles on the motorhome this year so in 4 years worth of driving the Transynd will have cost the same as filter changes and I will never have to think about the transmission fluid again (well I will do an oil analysis once a year) as oil that is good for 300000 miles is going to be excellent oil at all points in it's life. I talked to him and I am able to and will be switching my Ford soon. If any of you wonder whether it will work for your vehicle call him, he is very helpful, oh and he is the guy that wrote the specification for the Allison Transynd.
