The main destroyer of a/t's is heat. For every 10 degrees above normal fluid temp the life of the fluid is cut in half. The fluid temp is not determined solely by ambient. Fluid temp will increase a little in stop & go driving, and a LOT when towing.
Hope this helps.

would you consider slow moving traffic, driving solo, A/C on and engine temp gauge at 98-100*C as transmission fluid torture? My tranny fluid is pretty pink and clean but shows overfilled when the system temperature gauge is 100 and shows below the cool mark when the car is started from cold in tx mornings
