I read the entire ATF change thread and I will likely get it done at the dealer. But is there any harm in just doing a drain and fill. Just put back what came out and call it a day. I have done this on my 04 WRX 4eat and it’s still going strong after 14 years and 126k. I also did it on an Acura TL and sold it at 197k with no tranny issues.

Sure I may not get it all out, but I could drain and fill every year as it’s pretty easy to do. No track just DD and some fun twisties.
Any thoughts?
