This shows changing fluid every 30k miles under nromal driving conditions. I know I've seen somewhere that 100k fluid change was recomended but I cannot find where now.
I'm currently sitting at 45k and will be having the fluid changed some time in the near future. I'm still debating if I want to drop the pan and change the filter or wait until 100k for the filter change.

wreedKR,
Below is my Maintenance Schedule. Keep in mind that it is only a suggestive guideline. Check your transmission dipstick. But at only 30K miles, it may be a bit early for you to change your transmission fluid.
You could flush it. I bought a Mag Hytec pan w/ a magnetic drain plug. All that I have to do is open the drain plug. It doesn't get out all 18 quarts. Only flushing will do that since my torque converter does not have a drain plug. But it empties the pan and allows me to add 8 fresh quarts.

How else would you change fluid without dropping pan?

No it doesn't. Read closely; at 150k it suggests changing the auto tranny and transfer case fluid. Notice it doesn't suggest changing the tranny fluid at the same time. It also suggests changing the filter at 150. The other column mentions nothing about a filter.

That would be correct, but that doesn't mean you need to drop the pan. Most Ford dealers just do a flush, and they don't go anwhere near the pan, or filter, at least not until 150k.
