Greg don't fret it was just a joke. In any case you are going to want to get the trans oil changed for normal service and there is a whole discussion on the plastic mechtronic seal. This applies to the 6-speed ZF trans. I would not wait to 100K to change the trans oil. BMW at one time stated that this oil for the trans is lifetime and then turned that decision and recommended at 100K. The vehicle is over 10 years old its time for the change. Take a look at some of the ZF articles for this trans that others have posted and get the service done on it and take it from there.
