I know it is fill for life but what is a life of a car? I am under the impression it may be 120K mi.

I DO NOT change the 722.6 tranny fluid myself. I have the dealer do it because you should use the SDS (Star Diagnostic System) to set the fluid level with the fluid temp at 80C.
Fill for life is a relative term. You could leave it in there forever if you like. Most folks change their 722.6 fluid and filter every 100,000km's (about 60K-miles) or so. Some people have had great life out of their tranny without changing the fluid, but others have faced disaster. It's up to you.
The life of a car is 120,000 miles? Not a Mercedes! Care for it and expect at least twice that, at least!
