Recommended/actual maintenance schedule?

I have a 2016 Pilot Elite, purchased in January 2016. I just took my car in to the dealership for an oil change (31K miles), as the car was showing a 'B1' service.

The service techs 'recommended' that I do the following as well:
1) Fuel System Induction Service
2) Brake Fluid Exchange
3) Transmission Fluid Flush

They wanted a ton of money ($400-500+) for this. I declined given that I didn't think it was necessary to do this and they were just trying to upsell.

My question is: Is there a 'true' maintenance schedule I should be following that you all recommend, that includes things like the above items (and more)? Prior to this particular service, I've been taking my car to the shop for whatever the car/maintenance minder is saying, but don't know how 'smart' the car is to tell me if/when I need a 'Fuel System Induction Service', for example.

Any guidance or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. The dealership provides an 'X-point inspection report', and funny enough, the same things on the inspection report are listed as 'yellow' (Future Attention): Transmission Oil, Brake Fluid Level/Condition, and Fuel System.

The service rep tried to sell me on these prior to them running the point inspection report, so are they fudging the report to 'convince' me that this work has to be done, or is it report accurate?

Thanks again.
