It looks like the newly refreshed tranny oil will stay a long time in your car, Dan. I had a similar experience yesterday. I removed the heater system from my 68 GT. Just to replace the rubber rings

My sister in law borrowed our family sedan (Ford Falcon) and thought she'd do the right thing and check oil, water after her trip. She told us she had to top up the radiator with half a litre or so.
