My 85 900T has about 185,000 on the original slush box. Hve been using synthetic ATF since it had about 20,000 miles on it (belonged to neighbor). Also have synthetic gear lube in the final drive. Just change regular fluid about every 15K, synthetic less often (afther changing enough to get mostly synthetic into it), and check the level of the final drive every year. My son-in-law failed to check the final drive, and it seized after losing all fluid--had just over 200K on it at the time. Dick in Falls Church, VA, USA
