Most transmissions work on specific pressures at specific points in the transmission, plus or minus a few percentage points, so I call this misinformation.
Depending on how the vehicle has been driven, in my experience most FF fluids are looking pretty bad by 35k, i.e., the fluid is black, oxidized, increased in viscosity by 3-5 cSt points, with a lot of solid, particulate matter.
Find a good local mechanic who has the correct tooling to do a proper fluid and or filter job.
Boom. The voice of reasons and experience.
Fluids are not going to last forever, and random babble 2nd hand from dealer monkeys does not constitute articles of faith.
