I’ve got a 2003 Jag, purchased new in 2002, that just passed 104K miles. The tranny is sealed (Jag says do not change the fluid) and uses synthetic ATF. It shifts as smoothly today as it did when I first bought it. I tend to believe that it’s better not to mess with the tranny fluid...with a few exceptions.
If you frequently tow a trailer (that puts a lot of strain on the transmission) or if you drive for an extended period in a hot climate (Phoenix from June-August for example). In those cases, I would change the fluid every 30K-60K miles.
Appreciate the input. I drive mainly in hot, humid environments (east coast, Baltimordor, DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware). I drive a Turbo also. That may have something to do with this.
Can’t afford a Jag ;-).

Jet engines like those from Rolls Royce or GE never ever have to have it’s lubrication replaced for the life of the engine under normal circumstances.
They do use synthetic lubricants.
