Just swapped mine out this morning, and man was my OEM fluid in GREAT condition. Even the guys helping me drain the fluid commented on how good it looked.
Considering I'm at 99,000 miles, if this is the original fluid, then I wouldn't be afraid to run it for the lifetime of the car(I did purchase the car with 74,000 miles, so I don't know if it's been changed once already or not...).
Cruising around town, I noticed a difference. The tranny feels a bit more "silky" and I would recommend this to anyone. It was an easy job (10 minutes tops) as we worked in a pit under the car.

Yes. Very simple but no pump is necessary. A funnel and hose worked for me. I also floated the quarts in hot water before I got Artoo up an stands and took out the plugs and drained the oil. By the time I was ready for the MTL it flowed nice and easy. No fuss. No mess. No pump.
