Just unnecessary, that's all. Unless you are going a really long time between oil changes.

Why would you bother if you know it's good for way longer then your oil? I'm just confused...

I change the oil in my motor every 800-1000km either if it´s necessary or not tranny oil am I planning of changing once a year ... better safe than sorry.

Every time I buy a "new" car I change all liquids just in case to be safe.
