There is no specific schedule listed for it AFAIK. It is one of the items that gets visually checked when the sump is down. It's not a thing you would like to see clogging up, as it may indicate the gearbox was "cooked" at some stage, clutches burnt and a lot of particles in the oil.

The ATF needs to be changed once a year, that would be when the visual inspection gets done.
