How many miles total? When my old Grand Cherokee hit 120,000 or so, I asked my mechanic about changing transmission fluids and he said if you don’t feel or smell anything, not to worry. He said sometimes If you start fixing what’s not broken, you cause more problems than you solve.

Disclaimer- this was back in 2010-2011 for my 2006 Jeep.

Was told something similar with a Tundra - bought it used, figured I would change the trans fluid & filter- mechanic said it is a sealed system, and if no issues, then to leave it.. he had no reason to mislead me - it cost him business to say no

Has 130.

Had 100 when we got it and the fluid was really clean, so didn't change it then.

I just planned to have it changed when it got to 130.
