I figure since I dump so much fresh in that's like a change in itself lol. I probably dumped .9gal just refilling over time. Then the drain and fill only took like 1.2gal of the ~2gal capacity.
Granted I also avg 20-30k a year on the car so it only took me 5 years to hit the first change and will be 2-3 years to hit every one after this haha
Only thing I change early is ATF, but that's because heat kills it so any track time/canyon runs and it starts shifting rough after 30k miles (half the normal interval). Will likely change it more often since I track more now at like 25k to avoid any issues.
