Interesting...so I've probably been (of late anyway) changing them more often than needed. Over the decades I've probably only changed it every 5-7 years or so - at the most.
OK...thanks to all. Maybe I'll just add to half-way on the filter, or else not at all. Might not even bother changing the filter this year. New one two years ago for sure. And the fluid in the trans is only 4 years old. I top it off occasionally since there's still a VERY slow leak somewhere. I had hoped the cork gasket replacement would have taken care of it - and it seemed to for the most part but not completely.
