There is an accurate response - for the record:

Damn - easy, breezy oil filter change ...You don't have to crawl under the car longer than you suppose to like us, the other mere mortals.

Word of caution: don't trust the "lifetime service interval" unless you know exactly the length of time for which the fluid mentains its lubrication properties to a minimum required to maintain everything kosher inside the tranny.
If it was indeed "lifetime", they will word it differently... maybe "NO SERVICE NEEDED/REQUIRED". Or maybe the Warranty would have stated something like "Lifetime Transmission warranty"...
The fact that "Service INTERVAL" is in there should suggest a clue.
