RE: ATF change interval

[Aleksander Mierzwa <alex@matrix.com.pl>]

At least every 20K miles or if it gets brown (this tiny heat exchanger
doesn't seem to work well when cruising at 120mph in 35degC weather ;-)
Also check the differential oil level at least every 10K miles, even if
there are no visible leaks.
