Question HELP?!?! first fluid change

Just called the dealer for the first fluid change on my 06 DC (1000mi). They tell me the transmission is sealed and fluid can be added but not changed, and that the transfer case and diffs should not be changed until 15,000. They say there are no metal flakes created during break-in of either the transmission or differentials. This seems contrary to everything else I've heard. Should I change ALL the fluids or not, and is the tranny REALLY sealed such that the fluid cannot be drained and changed????

Default Re: HELP?!?! first fluid change

What do you need to change the tranny oil at for 1000miles?

No it is not sealed, just a little trick to changing it. NHParrot has the Service Manual pages that say how to do it, or search the Knowledge Base.

I only changed my oil at 1500miles. All the rest of the fluid is factory still (14400miles.) With oil changes every 3, and a K&N Air Cleaner Kit at 10k
