Coolant and gear oil don't need changing that often really. In fact nothing needs changing that often on these, I know you're trying to preserve it but changing oil at 6k on a DW10 is a waste of oil and money really, especially when you're using genuine parts.
Yearly or 10-12k is fine for oil and filters on these. Coolant should last at least 3 years+. Brake fluid every 2 years but not many do that lol. Gear oil when you do a clutch or driveshaft, doesn't need to be routine.

You'd be mugging yourself with that kind of schedule. If you drive very hard changing the oil every 6000 isn't overkill, but the rest of it can wait a lot longer. The air filter won't need changing more than every 15k, fuel filter 20k, coolant almost never - pretty sure that stuffs good for 6 years or something daft.

Yeah, any OAT coolant is fine for a good 5 years. I changed the stuff in my V50 for the first time in 10 years when I did the cambelt, checked it, was absolutely fine - no signs of any corrosion or changes in thermal protection...
Oil if you're driving hard and with a map on, it's fair to drop it to 6k or so. Fuel filter - meh, again, driving hard doesn't affect it, buying a good quality genuine filter is all you need. Air filter - get PP2k and monitor your MAF flow, any point it starts going down you can replace the filter and be sure that you're never impacting on performance.
