Default recommended service/mi.vs.months

I bought my 03' z 500miles ago with 8700mi. on the odometer and I changed the oil and filter right away. In the manual it states something like, at 24 or 27 months or 30k or so miles that you should replace trans. and differential fluid and the belts. Should I do this? The belts look fine and the car has such low miles on it, I was wondering if it was necessary. Also, do you think I should continue maintenance as per mileage or months?

when i buy a used car i change everything just for piece of mind, Since you say the belts are fine let those stay in but id still change all fluids in the car. Low miles doesnt mean not abused plus you will sleep better.

Sounds like gatti is giving good advice,

Overall I go by miles, not months.
