I have a few questions about the impala transmission fluid change. Do you do this every 50,000 miles or is it ok to do it at 60,000 miles and should, I get a drain and fill or have the transmission flushed out. Dealership wants $200.00 to flush it out. I checked my fluid today it is kind of brown not red like it should be. Should, I have it changed now or wait until 60,000 miles. Car right now has 49,000 miles. no shifting problems right now runs great.

Get a good gasket
I am on here right now looking for the torque sequence,so this much I can tell you . this is the 2nd time doing this on my 08 impala , last time I bought the filter and used the flexible rubber gasket that came with the filter and could never get it to stop leaking .
I just picked up a felpro rigid gasket TOS18717 and think it will work much better as you can barely tighten the rubber one with out it mushing.
FWIW the citgo transgard dex vi is a full synthetic and only $5 a quart if you can find it:yahoo:

Dang it
I wish I would have saw you reply a few hours ago, I just came in from doing a pan drop and fill ,thank you for that pic of the torque seq.
For any one doing this GET THE FELPRO it has metal washers built in to it and seals really nice , the rubber WIX gasket that I just took off was torn at EVERY bolt hole and I did not over torque it , if anything I was around 7 ft lbs.
The citgo dexron vi is GM licensed also FYI , thanks again
