change my own oil and filters now not to save money, but because I don’t trust them to do it.
Same. I recently did my transmission (68rfe) and it sucked, but I know it was done correctly. Saved me about $500 as well.
You can save a ton of money self-servicing a modern diesel.

The 2019 10r80 is a piece of shite, pure and simple. They get much better for the 2023 model year.
I don't disagree with this.

Parts manager at a CDJR dealer. The 8HP75 is a good transmission. You can certainly change the fluid and filter. The pan/filter assy retails for $330 dollars, we sell them over the counter for about $250. Fluid will cost you about $30 per quart. My customers usually buy 9 quarts. There is no dipstick/tube, there is a fill port on the side, not impossible, but difficult. Good luck.

Apologies in advance for hijacking OP's post, but my 2014 F150 5.0 has 175,000 miles on the clock. Have I waited too long for initial fluid change on the 4WD 6-Spd selectShift automatic transmission?
(Looking at my question in black and white, I am probably 100,000 miles late.)

I would recommend NOT doing anything to that one. You don’t want to introduce any detergent to that unit. No cleaners. I personally wouldn’t even want to put new fluid in it because it has some detergents in it. It can cause varnish in the unit to break loose and clog something. In essence causing a “stroke” by starving something of fluid. The good news is, that is a hearty transmission and will probably go 300k.

I have a ‘14. Changing it is not bad, just a little annoying to get the fluid level correct. Changed mine at 125k, will change again at 225k, which ain’t far off. Transmission has been flawless.

125k!
Good to go for that long? Usually 50-60k max Ive continously heard, never wanna prematurely get somethin done if I can save a buck at the moment and wait until needed ya know
