The easy way would be to just drain and refill...replacing about 1/2 the fluid say 2Xs per year. But you should drop the pan...clean it and replace the filter. All the grit and metal particles will be in the pan...and some trans have actual filters instead of screens. You'd need a Haynes manual to do it right.
Might also stick a neo magnet on the bottom of the pan to help catch some steel?
When I did my Nissan...I'm fairly sure it was the original oil in it...it was brownish instead of red. If you tested it vs new ATF between thumb and forefinger...you could tell it had less lubricity....no slicky...slicky.
