Na haha I wish though, that's why they say that it's "maintenance free". Basically if you do the fluid swap you could mess your stuff. ESPECIALLY automatic transmissions. Now I know you hear about people swapping their tranny fluid and clutch fluid but well that's precisely the difference. AT vs MT manuals usually will go longer for the same reasons that you swap the clutch and swap your fluid. You can actually work with it as opposed with the AT. They are very delicate and they don't like it when you swap the fluid they get comfy in. Now I don't know a hole lot of details but that's how it makes sense to me.
Please don't take my word for it. Ask some mechanics you might know. Ask em this "is it suggested or good to swap out the transmission fluid on an automatic?" And make sure you mention your miles because that's a big variable.
