Change or not to change?

I dunno .. but it seems you'd prefer the answers from people you don't know to the advice of the people you bought the vehicle from! OK, some of 'em are shysters but if the handbook says sealed for life, I wouldn't worry much, but I'd instead ask 'them' what they mean by sealed for life. Is it a mileage, a yearly count, till it breaks etc ...

Hello! I am a new owner of a Td6. The year is 2004 and the mileage is 113,000 miles. Just a quick question that has probably been covered before on the forum. I recently had a service performed by Land Rover on the car and did not change the oil in the transmission. I am getting concerned in terms of whether to change the oil in the trans or not?. Land Rover tell me that it is sealed for life. But would not a change of oil in the transmission help matters?. I mean in terms of taking a preventative measure?. So far all is good with the transmission and there are no notable problems?. What is your advice?. Or should i not change something that is working perfectly well?. If so what also oil is the best for the job?. Thanks in advance.!
