There are several opinions on the oil change interval. Some change it every 5-6k miles, some stick with 10k intervals. If you do it yourself, you can make 2-3 changes for the same price the dealer charges for 1.

I flush/refill my cooling system every 30k miles. There are a few approaches to doing this, and there are at least a few very important things about this maintenance. To name a few: 1) ensure you don't get air in the system, 2) flushing the engine block, 3) clean out your recovery tank, 4) use the right fluid. I'm sure there are other posts on this website that get into this in much more detail.
