Kolt -dealer said they can get factory fluid just need 2 weeks lead time. Does that sound about right?

I have always recc 50k or 5 years on transmissions, both auto and manual with only difference being doing a filter change also on auto at each 100 or 10 years. The time to get the fluid has increased due to we are still being effected by the strike and only the larger warehouses are keeping it. Used to be about 3 to 5 days to get some for us, now it would be like 10 or more.
