Agreed, but you should never swap the fluid without also swapping the filter. Doing so will lead to premature death.
Also, ATF expands tremendously when heated. In order to properly fill it (there is no dipstick), you need to preheat the fluid. If you don't, you will have overfilled it once it comes up to operating temp.
