Lifetime auto-tran fluid?

Does the '04 f-150 4spd auto-trans have lifetime no-change fluid?

Are you kidding me? How do they do this? Is it a new type of fluid? Transmission fluid breaks down with heat and use! I would be more interested in hearing about this!

even tho the trans fluid is considered to be life time fluid, my trans will still get serviced at 25k - 30k just like i normally would. fluid and filters are cheap, replacing major components are not. even tho under warranty now, what happens to the trans life several thousand miles down the road?

I'll be servicing mine too at 25k interval. I also don't run oil additives or any other gimmicks that supposedly extend oil life.
