49,000 miles, maintenance suggestions please

I changed my transmission oil at 15k. Now my mechanic says I need another one. Is that true? Also something bout flushing the coolant? Or should I stop being a cheap ass and bring it into Acura before my warranty is out. Suggestions?

Your tranny warranty is 100k.

You still got 51,000 miles to go mang.

I went to the dealer for the same question and they said that the tranny fluid is due at 105k miles. However, they recommended me to do it every 30k miles. I thing you should be fine if you changed it at 15k miles.
