Changing the ATF at 48,000 miles on the new "lifetime" ATF-filled
transmissions is overkill. If you want to play it safe, follow the severe
conditions maintenance schedule.

I'd change the ATF somewhere between 60 and 90 k miles.

Its nice to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't believe Toyota
recommendation anymore. But I will still use Toyota Required ATF when
the time comes.
