Tranny fluid

I have 70000 miles on my 2007 MCS and the transmission fluid has never been changed. Should I change the fluid now? Some on NAM are saying it should not be done after 50K miles

Lifetime tranny fluid I believe.
I have heard the 50K statements too. I wouldn't change it.

I changed my fluid at about 73k. No problems since then.

Even MINI isn't saying it's lifetime fluid anymore.

I'll be changing it every 30k miles, and using Redline MTL.
