I think ~30K miles on this fluid, since last drain/fill. Total mileage on vehicle, 70.5K miles.

additional considerations;

one time incident where i gassed the car in neutral, thinking it was in drive, then put in in drive without waiting for rpms to fall back to idle. Basically car inadvertently neutral dropped at ~2k rpms.

car is occasionally power stalled up to 2k rpms for fun.

car also makes +20 lb-ft at wheels over stock.

Looks fine to me. I would continue draining and refilling every 20-30K.

Is your Aluminum value correct?

Yes, that's the only one that's really out of line. The report says AL is from the torque converter. I guess if I kill that, i have an excuse to try a rebuilt high stall one.

btw, which material indicates the wear on the clutch packs.
 
A particle count VOA/UOA might help in determining clutch pack wear.
Unless you see material in the old fluid, don't worry about clutch wear.

I would practice a more frequent drain/refill regimen since it is only a partial fluid change.
