Did you actually read the Mike Miller quote I posted? Mike said he RECOMMENDS that the fluid be changed at least every 60,000 miles.
Mike also states:
"It is risky to drain a previously un-maintained automatic transmission with high mileage, even though if it were my car I would probably chance it."
I guess I don't understand why you are seemingly disagreeing with Mike Miller's advice.
Are you arguing that the AT fluid should not be changed?
