Default interval for coolant and hydraulic fluid

I can't seem to find any info on the interval to change coolant/hydraulic fluid on my bentley's service CD. Anyone know by chance?

if the correct fluid is used then its a life time stuff and there is no interval for change so its a do as you please thing, hydraulics hmm im still debating that because its tranny questions and they are not for life ( power steering ) that's ok and only needs checking weekly, tranny is different how can you check it on the newer cars ( no dipstick like the good old days )

Just my opinion, but lifetime doesn't seem like forever to me. Will just wait to do that when the timing belt comes up.

Well I know the tranny needs the fluid changed, I guess I just meant the power steering because I know shavings or whatever are in there. Can't be too hard to clean out.
