Volvo S60 2.5T - Aisin Warner 5sp Auto - fluid

So today I took my 06 S60 to the local Volvo dealer for the special $40 oil change and, in the course of trying to upsell me some stuff (fuel injection cleaning), I thought I throw the service writer a carrot by telling him not today, but later maybe, when I bring the car back for more substantive work, like a transmission fluid change. He told me flat out that the unit is sealed and that they don't change the fluid.
Oddly enough, my 03 9-3, which has a somewhat similar Aisin Warner unit, and my local Saab dealer has absolutely no problem accepting my money to do fluid changes in that car, and he uses the really good stuff (BG synthetic).
I'd like to keep my cars until at least 15 years/200K miles, or catastrophic failure, whichever comes first. :-) But seems to me like changing the fluid is low cost insurance for a happy, long life transmission.
Why is Volvo being difficult? Customer is always right - right?
