That's odd. I don't have the original service schedule anymore but my spreadsheet of required maintenance I made from the 2005 / 2009 schedule says every 2 years.

My 2014 VW TDI also said every 2 years.

My 2017 Bolt is every 5 years - That is one of the few things it requires

If you don't want to go by time or schedule you can test the fluid and replace it at 2% water content. (Fresh DOT 3 boils at 401F. With 3% moisture that drops to 293F)
