Trans fluid change…?

I called myself looking at owners manual for transmission fluid change intervals and I havent found it as of yet.
The car had 109xxx on it when we got it and now had 118xxx….no idea when or if the fluid has been changed. I did jack it up…level and check fluid level but thats all. No leaks. What do you guys think? Change it and filter?

I like to change transmission fluid when I buy a used car, just for piece of mind. The owners manual suggests leaving the fluid alone unless you drive in nasty weather elements.

Automatic Transmission Fluid Manual Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs, take your vehicle to a dealer and
have it repaired as soon as possible.

dealer for service. Have it repaired as soon as possible. You may also have the fluid level checked by your dealer when the oil is changed. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7‐8 for the proper fluid
to use.
Change the fluid and filter at the intervals listed in the Maintenance Schedule. See Scheduled Maintenance on page 7‐3. Be sure to use the transmission fluid
listed in Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 7‐8.

Book says 5 qts of 5w-30 Dexos. But that actually puts it overfull. I always put in 4.7 qts & is perfectly full, according to the OE dipstick.
