so the fuel injector cleaner talked about in the first vid is bad for the car.
this is the same as the STP fuel injector cleaner liquids right? http://www.stp.com/fuel_scfict.php

never knew these were detrimental.. | yea STP has terrible reputation.
it contains kerosine(jet fuel), which cleans out the carbon pretty well but also damages the metal really badly.

These places will continue to rip off their customers because the majority of them don't know anything about automobiles. More services performed = more profit. Wait, nevermind.. they said they were taking steps to minimize these problems

shit somebody should sue the manufacture thats producing these detergents. Whether its for your fuel injector or for your engine.
Fuck i used to put in fuel system/injector cleaner every once in awhile
Did a engine fluh when i first got the car
now whats wrong with transmission flush?
i know for manual you dont have to do the flush, simply drain it and top up.
Automatic on the other hand needs a flush which requires roughly 10-12 L of oil in order to completely push out the remaining dirty oil thats trapped in the torque converter. Simply bleeding it will not have the same result
Lordco, canadian tires sells all these detergents....they should be removed from the shelf

I still think complete flush is necessary but I didn't know that machine can hurt the car. Even dealership does the complete flush if you ask them.

all you need to do is open the drain plug and get rid of oil fluid and fill up with the new one.
the MTF is not circulating to torque converter or anything...because it's a manual

apparently, I was told not to flush my tranny fluid for the Acura TL.
its recommened to do a drain and fill.
some people had their's flushed and soon their tranny broke down.
And that is for the Automatics I believe.

Most of them do, however not all transmissions are suitable for the flush process.. it depends on the transmission model. Also the age of the transmission, older transmission especially those with lifetime transmission, a lot of the time is held together by the varnish.. if you flush it, it dies.
Ideally the shop one goes to is familiar with the car model and most importantly transmission model and use it only when it is absolutely necessary.
I would akin this to enemas, it might be useful in some cases, but no trained medical professional would give everyone who walk through the door one indiscriminately. Quote:

for example for my vw, the stealerships have "hot oil flush" as part of the service schedule, and is quite expensive, despite the fact my maintenance manual makes no mention that i require it
