I clicked the link to RealOEM, and that is the pan. Clearly you don't know what you're looking at on the actual vehicle. I service customer and my own transmissions at 50k like clockwork. Problem is most people are already well beyond that, which adds some validity to opinions around here that changing the fluid dislodges sediment inside the transmission...at this point, it's personal prefence if people still want to change the fluid. If the transmission isn't hard shifting, slamming into gear, etec then I would do it anyways, but that's me.
Hell, for those worried about changing the fluid and dislodged sediment, at least change the filter and clean the magnets than reuse the fluid like Esso suggests. I don't think any of the opinions around here can fault that.
