My 97 Chevy Lumina has 208,000 miles. The filter was changed at around 20,000 miles then nothing except for very rare addition of fluid.

It works perfectly.

Change the fluid now, and your trans is TOAST. The old fluid is weak, but functional. The seals in the transmission are now week. Put in some nice, new, strong, fluid and you’ll pop them.

At least that’s what I learned the hard way, several times.
