Yes you do. But it's worth asking why you want it changed? the milage interval is something like 99k miles in the book unless it is burnt smelling or not a nice red colour? It's also not especially easy to get all old fluid out by just taking out the sump and filter as the torque converter nearly a quarter of the volume on it's own.

99k miles is the recommended interval for normal usage, in my opinion, 50% or more of the vehicles on the road operate in the "severe usage" conditions, which call for the fluid to be changed at a much shorter interval.
