I suppose with "lifetime" fluid...
they thought no one would ever need a dip stick 
My wife has an Isuzu. I really wish they would have just put some damn dip sticks on these things.

Read the back of the bottle of that "lifetime" fluid ...
"<i>The product has a storage life of three years if handled properly.</i>"
I'd suggest that heating in a transmission is not proper handling.

So maybe it's wise to change your ATF every 3 years regardless of mileage?
I've read of some people reusing their old fluid when changing the filter. I wonder what kind of difference the age of the fluid makes?
It must be a big conspiracy between Audi and ZF to sell more cars and transmissions
