Does 'sport' actually prevent it from selecting fifth or does it change back up at about 90mph or something? Secondly, I'm normally a very lazy driver and am happy to potter about with the smoothness of 'snow' mode. Will prolonged use of this boil the ATX & wreck the box or is it OK? Finally how often should I change the transmission fluid, it's covered about 65K & I suspect has never been changed.

Thanks in anticipation,
Sport mode will still go into top gear but you will be doing seriously illegal speeds when it does.

Potter about in snow mode if you want to, it does no harm, just disengages 1st gear.

I would be changing the fluid now if I were you just to ensure all is well.
