Oil and fluids

How often do you guys change your oil, transmission fluid, Fuel filter, and what kind of fluids and filters do you use?

I change my Delo every 5000 miles or 125 hours. Fleetguard Stratopore
Fuel filter every 10,000 miles (every 2nd oil change). Fleetguard Stratopore
Air filter (UNI foam) I clean it every 20,000.
My BHAF I replaced at 45,000 miles.

Some of you guys are really throwing money down the drain. 3K on an oil change for a diesel?
I do mine once a year, when I think of it. Works out to about 10,000 miles.
Delo 400 and Fleetgaurd filter. No big deal.
What I change frequently is the fuel filter. About every four months, I throw in a new Fleegaurd filter.

Transmission I do about avery 30K
When I add the oil bypass, I'll probably do a change every 10,000 miles on the engine.

AmsOil in everything.
Engine 5k - change filter and top off - run another 5k and then change oil and filter.
Trans. 15-30k
Fuel. every 6 months or when it starts to feel sluggish/overdrive starts to act up.
WIX/HASTINGS/Amsoil eA

Do you use a bypass system?
