Today I finally was able to break the damn drain plug free. (used the Sears socket cap and a Craftsman Clench Wrench)
Anyway, here's what my drain plug looked like. The last time the trans was flushed was about 15k miles ago. The oil looked pretty dark. I guess that 24k interval isn't really what it's cracked up to be. Oh, I run the synthetic BMW stuff - 75w140.
