Transmission oil change 3 gallons low
I got a message on my Trip Tek system that simply said "oil" When I looked it up on the checklist, it read transmission oil so I figured this was the 5,000 mile oil and filter change that I had heard...

Here is the calculator from Allison's website. They use to require a filter change at 5K, but not so anymore. Everything is done via your keypad, including a notification when the fluid and filter change should occur. I roughly plugged in your mileage and hours of operation.
RESULTS
Transmission 4000 Product Families (HD4000, B500, T400, T500)
Fluid Type 100% Allison Approved TES 295 fluid
Vocation General
Hours in Operation 312
Annual Distance Traveled 5304 miles (8486 KM)
Average Speed 17 MPH (27 KMPH)
Transmission Fluid WHEN INDICATED BY CONTROLLER OR 60 MONTHS,
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
MAIN FILTER WHEN INDICATED BY CONTROLLER OR 60 MONTHS,
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
INTERNAL FILTER SCREEN OVERHAUL
LUBE/AUXILIARY FILTER WHEN INDICATED BY CONTROLLER OR 60 MONTHS,
WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
Notes:
Extended filter change intervals are only valid with the use of Allison Transmission high-capacity filters. For specific Allison Part Numbers, refer to Service Tip #1099.
Local conditions, severity of operation or duty cycle may require more or less frequent fluid change intervals that differ from the published recommended fluid change intervals of Allison Transmission.
Change fluid/filters after recommended mileage, months elapsed, or hours in operation, whichever occurs first.
Transmission protection and fluid change intervals can be optimized by the use of fluid analysis. Filters must be changed at or before recommended intervals.
