Theres quite a bit more oil than that, maybe another 5 or 6 quarts, which is in the torque converter and cant be changed by removing the oil pan.
Because there is so much oil and because there are no combustion by products as there are in an internal combustion engine its probably not necessary to change the oil in an automatic transmission under typical operating conditions.. The 2000 ECHO I bought for my son racked up ~200k miles when we sold it and its transmission oil was never changed. The trans and engine ran normally when we sold it.
