Default 2003 Jaguar superV8 x308 tranny oil change or not ?

Hello, I guess this is a question for the purist. My 2003 super V8 currently has 50,000 miles and has been religiously maintained from day one
I have read different reports online when it comes to changing the transmission oil - What is your take on that ?
thank you.

Terry

ALL fluids in a car should be replaced every once-in-a-while.
Every 10 years is NOT too often.

From what I've read in my short experience you're at the correct milage to do that without harm. If it was mine I'd do it as soon as i could and definitely before 60k. When was the last time you had it checked? Exactly.

Thank you for the comment. My mechanic checks the car for me every 3 months that's about every 600 miles -

Trade? I don’t think so but I will sell it soon - in fact I will also sell my other jaguars- I don’t really have the time to drive them - it’s a shame I love them

don’t even have the time to sell them - I have been wanting to do that I even advertised them but not home long enough to even go through that -

Yeah...for sure...SoCal is a fast paced life. I can't even imagine what the traffic
is like there now. I was hired for a very high paying engineering firm near LA,
but the drive made it more than a 12 hour day. NOT worth it! I doubt I would
want to put any of your Jags through that.
