There isn't any trans fluid & OR filter designed to last 200k, 300k, .... 500k miles!
If you wait 90K to service the trans, small metal particlesl in the fluid will cause damage to the bearings & other rotating parts. WE have replaced 100's of those transmissions at 75K-100K miles that could have gone 200K miles if they were serviced at 50K-60K!
A service will cost $200-$250 but a replacement trans will cost $3500-5000, take your pick!
