from what I read you only need to change the filters when work has been done on the tranny. I read this after trying to take off the drain pan which didnt happen and trying to remove the external filter, which also didnt happen. Hopefully I didnt read flase info 
oh well, it'll be gone in a few months anyways

Is the 4EAT oem fluid synthetic? If its not, how do you switch over to synthetic fluid by doing the drain and fill technique?
Since the TC traps at least half of the ATF, if the OEM fluid is non-synthgetic, you wouldn't want to mix synthetic into it.
