It came with Dexron iii and should be changed every two years or 25,000 miles.
I change my own and it's as easy as changing you engine oil. It has a spin on filter that should be changed too.
I switched mine to Transynd two years ago. I suggest you do the same.
When you drain it measure the amount that comes out with a bucket that has quart markings on the side and put that exact same amount back in. I will usually get 11 quarts.
After adding the fluid drive it about 25 miles and drain again and refill. That's the only way you can get a complete change.
Do NOT use a power flush. Allison says NOT to do that.
