Manual transmission fluid
officially: lifetime
my opinion: Maybe at 60,000 miles
Automatic transmission fluid
officially: forgot
my opinion: follow the manual or 30,000 miles (miles, not time unless you really don't drive it, then every 10 years)
brake fluid
offically: 4 years
my opinion: probably 4 years. BMW is 2 years, Mercedes is 3 years, ATE Super Gold says 3 years
coolant
officially: lifetime
my opinion: consider the advice that Dexcool should be changed every 5 years or 150,000 miles. I'd probably change it at least every 6-7 years or 75,000 miles, whichever came first.
spark plugs
officially: 60,000 miles
officially for rest of the world (not North America or Europe or Sweden) 48,000 miles
my opinion: 60,000 miles unless a lot of stop and go driving, then 50-60,000 miles
Serpentine belt
officially: 60,000 miles, later increased in some GM cars to 100,000 miles
my opinion: 60,000 miles, maybe stretch it to 75,000 miles. If low miles, consider 10 years or maybe a little more than half way what you intend to keep the car for (for example, if you think you'll keep the car to 100,000 miles, maybe change it at 50,000 miles)
