No, just every 3 years is fine, or if you have squishy brakes.
Brake fluid absorbs water which causes squishy brake feel, corrosion in the lines and pistons and the water lowers the boiling point which is dangerous when racing and really heating your brakes up.

Nice video it's a shame you don't have one with the Brake Pad change alone.

Not a video, but this will show you what is involved.

Thanks
How can you tell if you have to replace the Rotor as well?

More, Reading through this thread I suggest you invest in a Bentley repair manual. It certainly sounds like you have the desire to learn more about the car and effect some of the repairs. It is true that brake work is fairly easy but judging by your questions I think a step by step guide would be beneficial. Even an easy repair can become expensive if mistakes are made and knowing exactly how things come apart and in what sequence will go a long way toward making sure your efforts are not wasted. To answer the rotor question you can measure the thickness and check it against the wear tolerance it also needs to spin without warp and be free of surface scoring.
