i wrote my oil change sticker up for 5000km (3100 miles). i bought the stuff to do a trans fluid and filter change a couple of months ago but have not done it yet. the thing shifts so beautiful that i don't know if i want to do anything to it. just keeping it topped up because it has got a very slow leak.

At every oil change (3000 miles) check air filter and tap it out, clean PCV, grease front end, look for any leaks, possible problems. I change the trans fluid on the cars usually every year to 1 1/2 years; depends on the mileage but the longest mileage wise I would let it go would be 30,000 miles. I probably don't check the rear often enough- usually just a few times a year. As long as it's not leaking; no problem. Change it every couple of years. I don't put a ton of miles on the truck though. Backflush and change coolant every few years. I don't really have a set schedule but I keep a little memo book on all the cars of the mileage/date and what I did. Also any problems and what fixed it for future reference in case I can't remember later lol.

I just follow the FSM service schedule, in my case Light Duty Schedule B. I don't actually check the oil and windshield washer reservoir at every fill-up unless we're road tripping, but other than that I stick pretty closely to the schedule. I'm actually a little bit ahead on a few things.
