I probably don't really _need_ to di it, but I feel better about making 
sure all of the little metal particles are out.  The tranny also leaks,
so if I have to crawl under there to top it off anyway....  But then agian
I change the engine oil about every other month, 2 months tops.  I figure
the cash I spend on oil changes is easier to scrounge up than the cash 
it would take to rebuild my engine (my daily driver is a 911 targa)
