I agree I called Tremec and they said lifetime fill. Changing it once to get the wear in metals out at 1K miles should could not hurt it, then set it and forget it.

"Maintenance
Recommended oil change intervals should be based on specific usage. In most cases a “fill for life” is adequate, while in severe applications such as drag racing, or road racing a more frequent fluid change should be prescribed. Excessive heat will cause most fluids to breakdown and ultimately cause damage to the transmission."
