no its not. Just preference. Ever since Spoon pres (ichi - his name escapes me right now) recommended to change it every oil change i do it. His reasoning was that the tranny is just like your engine. well minus the air coming in with dirt and what not. But hell an extra little change to add peace of mind doesnt hurt.

cool

i was planing on every 15k for the diff. and trans. fluids. I believe the service manual intervals is like every 30k or so. I did mine the day after i bought my used ap1 and i used Honda fluids. i plan on changing to Redline and maybe use the GM synchromesh(?) addative for the trans.
