2011 2LT-RS Tranny fluid change

Hi All,
Have 90K on my car, bought new and not raced or driven very hard, but what is the thought about fluid change. I have read every 30K at 100K.
Plan on doing it soon and I have no issues.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Stephen

Yes, change it but dont flush it. Drain the fluid, drop the pan and change the filter, put in new fluid and go. Flushing at this point in its life can just cause problems by flushing crap where you dont want it to go. Use GM recommended fluid and you should be good.

^^ Also, I would recommend doing your differential at this point since you're an auto. 100k is fine for the diff.
