I have a 2009 Honda Accord EX with 44,100 miles or so. I did the 15,000 mile service at the dealership at like 41 thousand. They replaced the air filters, oil change, wiper blades, etc all except for the transmission fluid and engine coolant. They told me next time I bring it in I need to do the engine coolant and oil change. A few days ago I got the 15% oil life, wrench, and just code A for an oil change. Should I wait till the maintenance minder gives me the code for the transmission fluid and engine coolant? The dealer told me you change the transmission fluid and engine coolant at 30,000. I noticed on ALLDATA that it shows at like 120,000 you change the coolant

Coolant is more of a time issue. It becomes acidic after about 5 years. I would think you are okay with that, but the trans should be serviced. Check in your owner's manual for a maintenance schedule. That will direct you.
