I don't do my trans fluid before 100k miles. I believe you can get new contaminants from a shop from the workplace. I also pull the thermostat and refill the coolant, as many cars do not have a cap. Prevents air lock and destroying the block.
The base V6 on a regular Taurus was the 3.0 "Vulcan" V6 with an iron block and heads, also used in the Ranger. Head gasket problems on that engine were pretty much unheard of.
