I find it odd that once MB started to offer long term warranty's their cars went from requiring regular/routine/all encompassing service to needing essentially no service.
The physics of the transmissions inner workings didn't change applicably, and while synthetic fluids are a vast improvement I do not believe they are that good. Plus, these new transmissions w/ more gears go through Far more changes their our old boxes and do said changes smoother w/ more slippage then a firm shifting box thus generating more heat and wear on the clutch discs.
I'll continue to change my fluid often and based on that will offer the same to my clients, should they choose not to I'll be happy to sell them a transmission sooner rather then later.
