Service intervals?

<hr style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I now have about 6K miles on my Ex since purchase eight months ago...total of 39K altogether.

Changed oil (Royal Purple) and fuel filter when I got it.

Added diff cover and syn fluid to diff at same time.

It goes in Monday for Tranny fluid/filter change (to synthetic). I have no idea of previous service.

What would you experienced 7.3 owners consider decent service intervals (knowing the above) for each of these items? This is my first diesel. It is primarily a tow vehicle.

It sits outside in subfreezing temps most of the winter, cranked up every couple of weeks for a 50 mile trip here and there. I plug it in 2-3 hours before I crank it up.

Thanks for your input.

Say with the recommended intervals. I think it's something like 3-5k miles for engine oil, 60k miles on the trans and gear oils.
