Mark this is a little confusing. The negine oil does not influence transmission behaviour as it has its own oil and filter (inside the trans) and uses ATF (automatic transmission fluid).

If your trans is not shifting correctly and you have not had it serviced (oil, adjustemet and a filter clean) then it most likely needs it.

Changing your engine oil once a year is a little too long as well. 6 months with low miles or more frequently with heavier service is indicated. Check your under-bonnet stickers or efer to a manual/handbook.

When a trans fails to respond to the shifter it can mean: a seal has gone hard and only seals once it has softened with temp increase or some dirt has entered the valve body/solenoids (if applicable) and has caused piston sticking until the internal pump has delivered enough oil pressure to overcome the problem or perhaps the internal oil pump is worn causing delays in operation. Adjustments (if any) pertain to band clearance settings and thus effect shift quality.

Transmission servicing is supposed to be done with utmost attntion to cleanliness.

If the trans is overfull with oil it may aerate or froth the oil causing poor hydraulic operation. Thats about the extent of my knowledge on autos.
