I'd change the anti-freeze and brake fluid every 2 years. It gets old regardless of how many km you drive.

Auto tranny fluid every 45k or 50k km. Only about 1/3 drains out, so if it's really dirty, drive around awhile & change it again. And again until it's clean.

I worked at a shop for 2 years and ive never torqued a trans plug... and there has never been any problems, just hand tighten it, then turn it a half turn with a ratchet..
