A transmission has no 'lifespan'. Just maintain it properly following manufacturer (not dealer) recommended maintenance procedures written in your owner's manual.

The dealer's maintenance recommendations sometimes call for uneeded work (to generate themselves extra income).

Ano bang difference ng power mode at OD off sa pajero field master? Sabi kasi sa manual use when you need extra power for overtaking and goin uphill. So for example paakyat ako baguio dapat ba sabay sila o isa lang at alin sa kanila ang isi switch?

the function of the overdrive (OD) button have been discussed extensively here in tsikot, please do a search.

the power mode simply instructs the transmission to upshift at a higher rpm, which gives the car more power when overtaking.

when going up baguio, putting your shifter at position D is enough.

Ironically, you turn OD off when you need extra power for overtaking ang doing uphill. Confusing? Just check the other threads. hehehe.

Basta O/D, up to 4th gear
O/D off, up to 3rd gear only.

Power mode is as defined by boybi
HOLD - holds on to gears longer to avoid 'gear hunting' on long ascents/descents.
