Not saying you shouldn't do it, but just full disclosure and be aware. Yes not doing the change, would probably be a worse choice.
This is very good insight, and I appreciate you voicing this. I just did the drain and fill on my TC at 109K miles. All seems well (knock on would). Meeting up with my buddy that has ISTA sometime this week to recalibrate TC.
