I have a hawkeye and it had to be changed on 30000 miles or 3 years. As the book says.

Mine is in for that task tomorrow.

After the engine let go I thought it prudent to get everything else changed just in case.

All in all, You can never change your fluids to often, Regardless of what the service interval states, The only downside is the cost ...

Normally every 2 years/20k miles, STI DCCD boxes should be every 1 year/10k miles
