^This is what I used. Amsoil Severe Gear is another excellent choice.

How often are you supposed to change that?

If you follow the maintenance schedule I believe it's every 60000. I did mine at 18000 just to get the break in metals out. It was pretty dark already at 18000...

Good advice posted above!
Like Hemi stated: If new? The key is your First drain too be early (15k-25k) miles to get those break-in wear metals out. These are not beneficial to the clutch pack. If so equipt (limited/slip).
I drained mine @ the 10k mile mark & will again @ 25K then again @ 50K. It is a cheap/fast/easy service. If I towed more I would drain more often.
I have not drained the front yet! {Shame on me}. Will do after I get this transmission cooler kit installed.
Don't forget that oh so important transfer-case.

This too! Don't forget the internals are spinning whenever the truck is driven, even when in 2wd....
