Different brand of car (Holden), but one day I was asking about the volume required to replace the ATF in my wife's Astra at the service counter.

Me: How many litres do I need for a drain and fill on the 2002 Astra auto transmission?
Service person: You are not supposed to change it, it is filled for life and does not need replacement.
Me: *Didn't believe a word he was saying, it has a damn ATF dip stick, so it will need replacement*
Me: I understand, but do you sell it and how much is it?
Service person: Of course we do, it's $xx per litre and you need 2 litres of it.
Me: Do you have it in stock?
Service person: Yup. *goes out to the back and brings the 2 bottles out*
Me: I thought it was meant to be "filled for life"?
Service person: ......

Never trust the service intervals nor the dealer if it does not make sense...... Common sense prevails.
