Use your service booklet as a guide.

Amen on the anti-freeze and brake fluid changes.
I am the Pied Piper on these two maintenance items as they are frequently overlooked.
Why?
Because they are the only maintenance items that occur in time intervals instead of mileage intervals.
They are not called for at the 30,000 mile, 60,000 mile, 90,000 mile or even the 100,000 mileage mark. There is no 100,000 mile interval service, by the way. Your last major service was required at 90,000 miles.
Brake fluid is required to be replaced at 2 year intervals.
Radiator fluid is required to be replaced at 3 year intervals.
