Your EGR valve will probably never need replacing. They only get replaced if they fail and that's very rare.
Unless you get a check engine light and the proper diagnosis shows that the EGR is bad I would leave it alone.

You're confused. There are NO valves that are to be replaced at that interval.

Consult your owner's manual for factory-recommended service intervals.
