Default Liquids - replace how often?

Hi everyone,

My car is barely driven - about 4,000/5,000 miles/year. I drive the car maybe every other weekend and sometimes it would sit longer than 3 weeks. I currently run 0W-30 Synthetic for engine, Honda MTF for transmission, and LE 1605 for differential. When I was running regular Honda oil for my engine, I would change it every 6 months. My questions are:

1) How often should I change the engine oil, transmission oil, and differential oil given the car gets barely driven? Note that I am running synthetic for my engine oil.
2) Do any of these oils get bad because they are barely used?
3) How often should I change the coolant, brake fluid, and clutch fluid?

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. Again, I'm looking for recommendations specific to my driving habits, which is probably more unique than the general maintenance schedule in the manual.
