Even when the engine is not running, coolant is working by preventing corrosion, so yes, even if the car is just sitting the 2/5/10 year change interval applies.
Oil also ages just sitting there - it oxidizes and additives break down. The filter will also break down physically. If you're getting your oil changed at a place that advertises 3,000 mile intervals, they're probably also selling you a crappy filter than will fail in three months. Saab has specified 5k+/1yr oil changes for a long time. Maybe forever!
