We swap out engine oil at odd intervals, as we send in our oil for testing. Currently we are changing at 8k miles, and will continue to add miles to each interval until testing says otherwise. We run Motul 300V in the engine.

Transmission fluid is changed out every 10k. Testing is not performed on this fluid, as we consider it preventative maintenance.

Differnetial fluid, we have no interval, because we've been constantly changing settings on our LSD for testing, and the fluid is changed every time we reconfigure our LSD. For track driving, I'd also go with 10k.

YMMV. There is no one right use. Most people think our intervals are too long, especially for a car that sees the amount of track testing ours does (virtually every weekend).
