At 50,000 im planning on changing trans fluid and the rear fluids and will repeat every 50,000.
Also every tire rotation I will clean and add brake lube to the brake pad shims so the brake noise doesnt come back.

250,000 miles at 40 bucks a change for synthetic maybe more. Im just guessing cause firestone is more than that without the coupon. If you change your oil every 6,000 miles for 250,000 you could've bought an engine and a transmission anyway. Plus they will probly be cheaper to get a rebuilt one by then.

This is interesting
Make sure you guys read the 3k mile myth and the dark oil myth on the bottom
