You are not required to change the fluid but it asks you to check the fluid every 15,000 miles. Here is a guide that will help with checking the fluid:

As long as the fluid is not low or burned then you are fine to leave it. However, if you want to change it, I would recommend changing it every 100,000 miles.

I attached the info below from the manual that will help with additional details on changing the fluid.

Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
