I rethought this. I'm a risk taker but I would use the old oil for a series of flushes and if it is shifting fine, leave it in.
The logic above about many cars with 10 year old ATF is verified by my BMW in my driveway, which had its first change in 10 years

It's 10 year old fluid that's been STORED, it can separate and turn unto junk! (I know this from experience, unfortunately)!
Not 10 year old fluid that's being used on a daily or weekly basis
