I did my first oil change at 500 miles then again at 1K. I have 4300 miles and have actually changed it 5 times. I know its a waste but why not I do it myself anyway. Diff fluid was at 1500 miles and that surprised me how bad it actually was, did it again at 4K and it still looked new. Did my trans fluid about 3 weeks ago and switched it to Royal Purple and I do see a difference as it feels smoother during shifts. The fluid actually still looked brand new though when I drained it. I used the temp sensor to drain it so I didn't really make a mess and I have a lift so its a pretty easy job.
