Did the dealer change your MT Fluid?

My service guy keeps denying me to change my MT fluid. Tells me MT fluid does not need to be changed. If anyone ever had it done at the dealer, please let me know how many miles did you have and how much did you pay.
Thank you.

I've heard this before, dealer techs saying it did not need to be changed, I'm guessing the information is coming from the factory service manuals.

At any rate, I change mine and I'm running RedLine, I noticed a subtle difference

Dealer service (at least at Peninsula Infiniti) included the MT trans change at the 30k. Most mechanics would say you don't need it till 60k. I waited a little long and did my major service at 40k including the MT change at a friend's shop. I just trust him more. =p Does it really need it? Couldn't hurt. Do I feel a difference? Sure do. My trans feels nice and smooth again. Worth it for regular/preventative maintenance in my opinion.

Thanks guys. They finally did it last nite. Dealer charged me a $100 labor and over $70 in parts. It might be all in my head, but it does seem like it's a bit smoother.
