We have one of these machines at work, it is madee by BG systems. They
did a demo and showed us the difference in color: Two cars, both Maximas
w/ about 35K miles on them. Took samples of each cars fluid, each looked
the same color. first car was just a simple standard fluid change
(leaves the old fluid in the converter). Took a sample after driveing it
around the block a couple times to heat it up and mix it good. Second
car did the complete flush w/ the machine. Same procedure to take
sample. Amazing difference in color, although it takes 4 gallons of new
fluid to do the flush($$) Don't know if it really makes a diff. but I'm
a sucker for stuff like that. Good thing I got a stick. (insert smiley
face here)
