If mine sat like that, I'd be more motivated to change them more often as well. Condensation and the like. Being driven leaves it less prone that though. (Note: 'less prone', not 'makes resistant' too heh)

I change my AT fluid every other year, which equates to about 7-8000 miles. I used to do the rear end oil at the same interval, but synthetic can get a little pricey, so I switched to the syn oil, and it's been in there ever since (about 4-5 years).
