Default 3 year mark - what to check/replace

Going to pulll a n00b on you but I rather ask the experts. Other than what the manual states, do you guys recommend anything to do/change/check for the 3 year mark? When should I change transmission fluid and diff oil under normal conditions?

At 30k miles, you should have your engine, transmission, differential, coolant oil, and air filter changed according to Nissan maintenance schedule.

Mine is an 05 with 16k, I was thinking of changing these fluid just based on the
passage of time, rather than miles.

Im pretty sure the VQ has a timing chain, not belt.
