I used to change oil every 3 months or 3k miles, but now with better oil and lower mileage, every 6 months is OK

Check your manual, not what jiffylube says =). My car is a 2016, it says every 10000 miles for oil. And never replace Transmission fluid. Unless you use your vehicle for towing. Then 100000 miles. And Im assuming thats not taking the boat out a few times a year...
I have never been to a Jiffy Lube. I check the oil myself; if it feels gritty, I change it. If we were driving more, my guess is the interval would be sooner.
To my great surprise, my 2013 Ford Expedition does not have a dipstick for the transmission fluid. We have a small travel trailer, but use it infrequently.

Mercon VI, fully synthetic. Normally a lifetime fill. HOWEVER, if you have AWD or 4WD, the transfer case might not be synthetic. VERY easy to do a drain and refill on those.
