25k ago i changed the auto fluid (60k on the car suspect the syrup had been in from new)

now a year and 2 months (and 25k) later i dropped a fine tube down the dipstick tube and attached a syringe and pulled some liquid up to inspect (been geting slighty rough shifting so i had my suspisions) and it didnt look TOOO bad..

changed it anyway and what came out was definatley not bright red...

now i used the ipd method so i wont have got the cooler either time...and the first lot was REALLY nasty..

changes much smoother and for my money you REALLY need to change that fluid every 25k/year or so as a maintenance item..
