Does anyone know the mileage numbers when the transmission and differential fluids need to be changed in an 06?

Also does anyone use synthetic oils with their cars? I'm thinking with going with Mobil 1 or Royal Purple

25,000 miles is maintenance schedule for trans and diff, especially in populated metropolis driving. I'm currently using Mobil 1 however some some research I no longer will be, apparently it has horrible viscosity duration, therefore I'm going to just use Motorcraft synthblend. I also may start using Lucas oil stabilizer like 25% of the bottle at a time. I poured a bottle into my 93 tracer and the horrible valvetrain rattle is gone.

note to all! if you buy a car that is used save yourself some heartache and money and change all of the fluids as your first project just to be sure..
