For the rear end, the regular maintenance schedule says change the fluid at 97,500 miles. The towing schedule says every 22,500 miles.

In this video the mechanic recommends dropping the pan every 60K miles to clean the magnet that captures metallic particles. So I'm going to do the full procedure, including dropping the pan and replacing the filter and cleaning the magnet.
The trans fluid capacity is over 17 qts, so the fluid and filter cost is over $140.
