Skipped transmission service 2012 S550
Not by choice and always serviced by dealer, trans has never been serviced.

MY '12 first service is at 70,000 but somehow got skipped. Trans operates fine. Car has about 120,000 mi.

Would you risk fresh fluid at this stage? Or run as is? 50,000 miles over due.

thanks.
