Default 2000 SLT Plus 4x4 (4.7L) Omission

A while back I signed up for free PM through Asset Bug and they happened to have the "Schedule B" tasks already loaded up for my trusty/rusty Durango.



It has been working great. It so happened I was due for an oil change so I took it to my neighborhood Jiffy Lube. Got into an argument with the "technician" about the automatic transmission fluid.



I drive 3 months out of the year in below freezing, have frequent stops, and travel less than 10 miles at a time... B is definitely the right schedule.

I thought it was just an error, someone forgot to plug it in. They provide the manual which is nice so I thought I would help fix it.

The problem is in the Dodge manual. Page 399 says:

Drain and refill automatic transmission fluid and change main sump filter (4.7L/5.7L only). This applies only if your vehicle is used for police, taxi, fleet, or frequent trailer towing.
I don't do police, taxi, fleet, or trailer operations... does that mean I never have to change it?

What is everyone else doing with their Schedule B Durango transmissions?!

Thanks in advance!

Oh I should say I have 91,000 miles today and I can't say for sure if it has ever been serviced.
