I would take it back and ask them to reseat the screws with a
sem-permanent loctite.
As for changing the transmission oil, we've been doing some studies on
it an the NHW20 appears to need one right at 60k miles:

It really is also a function of the driving environment. If someone
lives in a dusty area, they need to change it more frequently. For the
NHW11, 2001-03 models, at least every 30,000 miles.
