My car has 210k miles and it still has the original flex discs.

Although I do not have the usual symptom (vibrations), I will still ask the indie to check them when I do my next ATF pan flush.

According to manual there is only one flush for a lifetime at 39k for ATF and filter change.
Done it at dealer for $440 with 15% discount.

This is true according to MB but the general concenus here is different. Do a search and you will see.

I for one agree to the experts here. No fluid will last a lifetime! I do the pan flush every 40k miles.

From my perspective ATF has been designed to last a lifetime. I will stick to that.
