The difference is how they work. AT uses the fluid pressure to change gears. The MT just uses oil and a lubricant and coolant.

Is no one changing out their transmission fluid in their automatics? I guess it’s considered lifetime fluid?
There should be a maintenance schedule with your owners manual. Read it and it will tell you what and when things need to be changed. If you don't have that then Google the schedule.
