Really makes you wonder what these dealers are doing when they are selling Skyactiv Transmission flushes.
When it was my due time to do the first tranny flush - I actually had some things to fix under warranty at the dealer's and inquired about their prices. Was quoted 300$CAD - which seemed pretty reasonable... until I found out that they weren't bothering with filter replacement. That's one costly drain and refill. Not counting all the gunk and metal shavings collected in the pan...
But yes - general wisdom says that if your tranny hasn't been touched by somebody who actually cares by 200K - don't touch it at all because fresh fluid will dislodge all that gunk and clog everything up. Unless you're ready to pay the price as I was suggesting in my previous post - do a number of flushes with short millages in between and she'll be just fine.
