I also had symptoms of the dreaded "stutter" with any type of road jolt, e.g., bridge expansion joints. With the install of new tires, new fluid, and re-calibration, the frequency of stutters reduced.
Since the case only holds oil equal to that of small lawnmower, I'll most likely stick with short 30K-36K intervals mainly to hedge my bets. It also aligns well with my current tire replacement.

Completely agree on the volume of the fluid - it's practically nothing.
BTW, thanks for creating this thread. You gave me the initial push to DIY the TC, and your directions were spot on - much appreciated
