Chrysler and ZF says 'lifetime fill', but I think that fresh fluid one-time is a good practice.
The original fluid is the same oil that the transaxle was 'break-in' with. It deserves a refill.
It will also establish a base-line for condition and wear if the oil is darkened or has metallic shimmer in the light.
Use ZF Lifeguard 8/9 speed fluid. No special additives needed or recommended.
Add the same amount as removed. The factory dipstick is easy to reproduce:
