Default 3 Year service Interval?

My 2001 Coupe(6Sp) is now 3 years old and now has 13K miles. I've had oil changes done every 3k to 4K miles. What other maintainence should I be considering. Example, should cooling system be flushed every 3years? anything else? Appreciate the comments...

Your coolant is supposed to be good for 5+ years. You might want to check/change your air filter, but that about does it. You can check the condition of your belts, plug wires, etc. You really don't have to do anything else unless you want to "treat" your car or get spend some extra cash.... :yesnod: :)
