I suspect that the dealer does not want to be held accountable if the transmission fails post-service. I would recommend a gradual approach-- just drain the sump and refill by the same amount with the appropriate fluid. Do this several times to slowly replace the fluid, which is definitely past its prime. I would not power flush the transmission-- there is an element of real risk with those systems in older transmissions.

Good luck!
