Oil professional over 32 years. I insist on tranny fluid that's changed. 60k especially if even street raced. I'm just now reading some threads on the subject. I blended all types of oils for automotive and industrial as well. ATF has a super low pour point & is still subject to breakdown and obtaining oxidation, moisture, and other contaminates. Engine oil must be changed and I do mine every 5k miles regardless. Commented from my phone so hope this makes a bit of sense .
I seen many oils in the lab and rarely after high miles or run conditions do they meet specs for viscosity, color, and more. Preventative maintenance is a must for me. It would be nice to take a sample out of the transmission so I could take it to a lab for further analysis. See the before and after results.
