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.
You need to change it. You're already clear of some of the super premature failures that happen with it. If it fails after service, it won't be due to the service itself. Mechanics spout this BS because most people with higher mileage cars wait until there are signs of failure to change the fluid. They change it and it fails shortly thereafter. It was already going to. If you're not having issues now, then you should be fine changing it (and I definitely would). The Jatco trannys are problematic on their own for sure, but that doesn't mean you should just ignore maintenance.

Jatco CVTs.
Jatco traditional transmissions are bomb proof.
My neighbor has killed one in an XD, but that was after repeatedly towing his escavator, the machine itself was double his towing capacity

That's what I gathered from just reading. That problems don't really come from changing it, it's if you haven't and it gets gunked up or has already developed a issue.

There's a lot of urban legend around changing the transmission fluid in your vehicle. The biggest legend is if the fluid hasn't been changed in a long time, it shouldn't be because it's old.
That's not really true, but here's what IS true. If the valve body gets all gunked up with transmission fluid that's damaged, the driver could lose the ability to shift between gears.
And that's why so many people believe that changing old transmission fluid can cause it to slip. Want to avoid that whole dilemma altogether? Simply change your transmission fluid regularly and you won't have to worry about it!
