If you want to go by what the books say, you need to buy one. :shrug: Not trying to be mean or funny, just practical. Any of the repair manuals available have maintenance schedules in them. They aren't expensive either. But...it does depend on how much you drive and how hard you are on your car, and how old it is. Even the newest third gen is 12 years old. The schedules in the manuals are for normal mileage and an average driver. Not for modded cars and more'spirited' driving.
Personally I'm with TomP. Once a year. Most people don't pay attention to how long it has been, and will let things go until the car doesn't run right. I never have babied any of my cars/trucks/vans, always driven them hard. This is hard on parts that require routine replacement. I hate being stranded on the road somewhere, and usually Murphy's law is right there with me, and the car will break down right when I need it most.
