Depends on the conditions you drive in, I live on a dirt road and am constantly replacing/washing my air filters, about every 3 months.

Isnt the transmission fluid one of those things that you should either never change or change at regular intervals?

That's flushing it. A simple drain and refill is recommended every 30,000 miles.

You might want to look at your brake fluid, check to make sure it's not brown or worse. Also you may want to change the fuel filter.
