Do not change the transmission fluid. You may not even change the engine oil and oil filter. Just let a mechanic check the engine oil level to ascertain if its properly gauged.

Engine oil and filter should be change.. Transmission oil depends on how it looks.. Better to get a good mechanic to check if the transmission oil is still good .. Transmission oil usually last few years or thousands miles before changing.. It is not something you change all the time like engine oil...

To play safe.. Better to change engine oil and filter, changing engine oil often does not destroy the engine like transmission..... Better to be safe than sorry...
