why should you not change your transmission fluid if you’ve never changed it last 10,000 miles.

For context: I have an older Toyota 05. 160k miles. Transmission fluid looks kinda brown and mechanic said I should do a flush and quoted me 300$. I’ve also heard that at some point you shouldn’t change the transmission fluid if it has t been changed in awhile. Why is this?

My mechanic said it depends on the transmission. Any regular car you should change the transmission filter forsure. If you drive a high end car, no need to change the fluid.
