Default Fluid changes?

At what interval should you change all fluids? I recently purchased my 944 and I have no service records! I changed the oil immediately, but not sure what fluids to change next? Any info would be appreciated!

ATF for the PS, Coolant, Brake fluid. Replace them all if not sure. I'm planning on a complete fluids change before winter sets in (I'll be driving the winters in the 924S as usual.) Check the trans lube as well- dont consider draining it until you get the fill plug out first!

Yeh, I think I'll change all due to the fact I have no record of past changes. Thanks for the response!
