First I never would go to a shop called Mr. Transmission nor call someone to fix my house called Mr Fixit. But thats just me.
I think 50K to 60K is a reasonable number for a complete exchange of the ATF. Amsoil with their synthetic ATF says 50K severe service and 100K normal. But more people than you think fall into the severe category.
But when you say "service the transmission" what are we talking about? Simple drain and fill? Complete exchange via a flush? Remember a drain and fill gets between 1/3 to 1/2 of the total ATF. The Amsoil website will tell you how many QTs for each. If you are going to do a simple drain & fill, then maybe 30K is about right. And 50K to 60K for a complete exchange of the ATF.
Or better yet sample at 50K (include TAN) and see where you are.
Boy do I ever agree with you!
