R50/53 High milage CVTs ?

MINI for a LONG time said no fluid changes were needed...lifetime fluid.
But as early as 2005, the more "progressive" dealers were doing regular fluid changes....
There was a mod here, If I remember right, that got about 100,000 miles out of one...traded it in as soon as it did something funny if I remember when it would still pass a pre-buy as suggested by MINI.....bet it was sold at auction to another dealer...
Most folks that get a longer life (unscientific, just reading between the lines) seem to drive very...er..gently. They seem to go FAST when driven as MANY folks LIKE to drive a MINI.
Hopefully that Mod will chime in...I THINK they might still be around.
