And check your wheel bearings regularly too

I typically hang on to vehicles for a long time, so whatever I can do to extend service life, I'll do, such as fluid/filter changes on 'sealed for life' transmissions, and changing other fluids a bit sooner than normal intervals. For the relatively low cost of a coolant dump/refill, I'll pay for the peace of mind of a few extra changes.
