Recent trans rebuild. Should I change fluid

[n2audio]

I bought an 03 aviator in mid novemeber w/137k. It now has about 140k.
The transmission was rebuilt by Lincoln in July, about 5k miles ago. Would it be worth the time/cost to do an early fluid change to get out any contaminants that might have been left behind when it was open?
Seems like too much time/mileage has passed for it to be worth the trouble.

If not, I guess I'll pencil it in for about 165k

It is probably not a big deal, and if I were to do that I would swap the filter. It certainly would not hurt, though!

I'll probably just let it go.
I have a copy of the maintenance records and at just south of $4k I'd much rather not have to have it rebuilt a 2nd time -- of course - I wouldn't go to Lincoln.
