That answer is in the owners manual(s.) It will have a time factor and a distance driven factor.

The owners manual usually says something on the order of " transmission fluid does not need to be changed in normal service". You know that most of us here call BS on that if you keep your car for a long time. In this case, the answer is NOT in the owners manual.
