1,800 miles don't even think about it anymore. I have the extended warranty so I factored a tranny flush into the price of the warranty.

So what I mean is...

I will drive the car to ~100k miles. If I didn't get the warranty I would have the fluid swapped at 50k miles. The cost (when I called the dealer) was about $250. Since I got the warranty up to 100k miles I won't have it flushed and 'saved' $250 off the price of the warranty (mentally of course

). The manual states that the fluid is lifetime so to remain under warranty I don't have to do anything.

To each his/her own. That's just what I'm doing, not a recommendation.

You sure about that. if the manual calls for it to be services, Flushed and filled at 50k, and something goes wrong at 65k and you never changed it I'm sure the dealer will not honor the warranty.. Just asking . I have not even thought about mine @15k now. have not looked at the manual yet for it. sorry if a dumb question
