The OEM pink coolant is good for 100K miles, but 30K would be quite aggressive, I would think midway would be fine. 60K seems like a figure midway.
 
60-100k would be fine.. personally if you live in extreme climates (cold or hot) i would lean towards the 60-80k mile and 40k after that for the life of the car
 
Initial drain is 100k. Then every 50k thereafter. I plan on doing mind every 50k regardless. Do a radiator drain and refill every 30k if it makes you happy. It shouldn't take too much (or cost too much) to do it that way.
 
I am going to do a drain/refill every year or two max. i figure $20 something in fluid every two years is worth it to always have fresh fluid/fresh additives in there

You must mean the radiator only. Unless you only have a 1 gallon capacity system, that is all that $20 will buy. Should be fine though every 2 years.
 
yes, sorry. I will be draining/refilling the radiator once a year or two. As undummy has said, the radiator is almost half of the total capacity (give or take a little, not too concerned about it really) so that is fine with me.
