My 08 sub 5.3 is ready for a 75k service. Thinking of doing a transmission and brake flush / replenishment with BG fluids.
Anyone have any experiences good/bad with BG?
Thanks

Think BG is better than the regular OEM fluids?

bg fluids are synthetic and if you have the services done by a certified shop/tech they have a warranty on whatever system you flushed (depending on mileage), our shop does tons of BG work

if you haven't flushed your tansmission already I definately would. Brake fluid is probably ok but it never hurts to do maintenance

Ok, thx. I plan to run this sub until the hinges rust out and fall off. Will also do differentials so all fluids are new. Only have 80k on it now. No towing but a lot of stop & go on the road.
