1st never trust the sale ppl.
I would change it now.
I change my oil at 45000 km, I change because the gear box started to jerk abit and not smooth even I reset the computer.
here is the oil you will need to get and the oil filter tray

Based on the photos, are you planning to use the ZF-Lifeguardfluid6 AT fluid? It should be compatible according to this document:

If you want to replace the filter you will have to buy a new pan. the filter is built into the pan plus it is now made of plastic and once removed it will never seal properly. From the techs that I have spoken with, the pan is broken almost everytime they remove it. They also said that if you elect to change your fluid, they will make you purchase the new pan no matter what. If your a CCA member you get 10% of the pan

Who would design a transmission oil pan out of plastic? And one where you can't replace the filter? I'm thinking these are not the quality, durable cars I thought I was getting.

congrats is it smoother?
. I did a bunch of tests after the flush and the transmission responded as expected. There were no delays, jolts etc. Raj

A few pictures..
Transmission has 75k on it. I guess it all depends, what kind of soup you want to run in your car? Eggdrop or HotnSour
More details with a DIY to follow.
