Yeah, some offer "lifetime" lubrication. Most mechanics still recommend flushing the tranny.

I don't know about the oil dipstick, it is nice that some cars will tell you the oil lifetime, and some will report the level. Weirdest thing I'd heard regarding cars was that some Land Rover vehicles don't have an oil drain plug. To change the oil, you have to suck it out through the top!
