Where are all the died in the wool defenders of the sealed transmission? Too much egg nog? Can't deal with the simple facts without an extremely complicated explanation and 15 different data sheets? Just Kidding.

I thought this would bring you all out.

Anyways I agree with ECS, actually I don't pay attention to any specs that call for extended anything when it comes to maintenance. They won't be around in the 6th or 7th year when you want to go 4 or 5 more years and your lifetime fluid bit the dust. When the intervals seem extreme cut them in half or 2/3rds
