My suggestion is to go by the MID and brake fluid every 3 years.
As far as the ATF, check to see condition, burnt, dark brown and strong odor, a change is in order, but if dark and no apparent odor, let it go. The red is only a dye and will change color quickly when in use, so the discoloration isn't a reason for a change.
I'm certain others will chime in with their recommendations.
Good luck with the car.

Yes, I would change the Trans Fluid if it is an auto. I would also recommend changing the Power Steering Fluid at this point. There is no need to flush either of them, just change the fluid. Hope this helps.

Sorry, forgot to add that you may what to consider getting the brake fluid flushed. Honda/Acura has transitioned to having this done every 3 years.
