The most current change interval recomendation I've seen for the trans fluid/filter is 60k km or 37,250mi. "Lifetime fill" disappeared many years ago and continues to evolve.

There are now options for the fluild (Febi, Fuchs Shell, etc.) other than the dealer but it must meet spec.

Change it on schedule (inluding torque converter) and drive it until it throws a code. Then deal with the code.
