maintenance schedule

Okay, you started out asking about 'maintenance' not 'oil changes'. I would not do oil changes at 10,000 miles (too long), but that' me.
Your concerns about the service department are valid.
There is zero need for fuel system 'flush'. It's nice the brake fluid was changed. Not something most people do. There is a recommended brake fluid interval listed in your owners manual, I'd follow that.
I'd get the transmission, differential and transference (if equipped) serviced around 60,000 miles and that's it. Oil changes around 5,000 miles.
Good luck with your future maintenance intervals. You can see my confusion when all the comments above were regarding oil changes ONLY.

@16IngotFX4 Thanks for your reply. My bad on the confusion. I have no problem with a $70 oil change every 5K or so. it's all the other BS that's a killer. I am sure I can replace the cabin and air filters cheaper than what I am paying these guys
Thanks for looking it over.

There are youtube videos on the cabin filter change. They didn't make it the easiest to change. haha
I can't tell from the invoice what the charge for the cabin filter is....$29.95 but does that include purchase and install?
I want to check mine, but I will probably buy one first and just change it after going through the process to access. Worst case if the filter is relatively clean, I'll use it as the replacement next time. Or not..maybe I'll toss the Covid infected cabin filter.
