Tran oil and filter? 5spd don't have filters and auto uses trans fluid (not an oil) and not sure how you'd grind it? Believe auto has just a screen - and I wouldn't bother with it. It doesn't hurt to change in either trans. If auto a drain is fine --- and cheap if you do it yourself - don't waste $ on flush. If 5spd not terribly hard to do --- use synthetic fluids though. If you are having dealer do I'd just wait til service manual calls for it - probably 30k.

ATF certainly is an oil, a top quality hydraulic oil with a specific additive package for transmissions and the red dye for identification.
For the manual transmission, what is the gear oil spec in your owner's manual? GL-4 or GL-5 75W-90 or 80W-90? I think the best are Schaeffer #267 80W-90 or Redline (costs more), and Mobil 1 75W-90 gear oil. I think you'll need three quarts. Drive to get the oil warm so it drains better.
