I agree, mail route has to be about the hardest thing on any vehicle. I have a 95 Toyota Corolla with 473+K on it, would still be using on route but under hood wiring is oil soaked from blown exhaust donut and must have a short in it as it took to eating alternators. The current route car is another 95 Corolla, but a wagon instead. It will turn over 200K sometime this month. Trans fluid looks TERRIBLE in this car, but talked to transmission shop as to whether should flush this trans, they said from what I told them the fluid looked like when I bought the car just to keep doing what I am doing, that is, change the fluid and filter every summer and not worry about what the fluid looks like after the change. They agree a flush would likely break loose residue I really don't want in the valve body or lines. But, having said that, I find the engines in most modern cars will far outlast the transmissions if the trans are neglected. I run a synthetic blend in the trans and engine on the route car, full synthetic in my wifes car as it was bought with low miles on it.
