If there is any chance the fluid was changed at some point in its life to Transynd, then you could pull a fluid sample and send for testing. There is no test for Transynd but since the fluid has not been changed in the last year, if the viscosity is still above 7 with little sign of oxidation then you probably have Transynd. If that's the case just change the filters, top up the fluid and test again in a year.
If you're pretty sure you have DexIII then do a fluid/filter change and a year or so down the road do the fluid/filter change again. You will then be good for 3 years on the filter at which time I would test the fluid again. The Transynd will probably be good for a long time with just a top up when you change filters every 3 years.
