You have a MT? There is no listed service requirement to change these fluids anyplace I have ever found. The only one listed is AT fluid and it was way higher then 30K.

Recommended service intervals are there for the average person who does not know anything about cars, or don't care to think about maintaining their cars. If you do your own work, as long as everything is taken care of on a regular basis (as needed), you are fine.
What is a "regular basis" is going to depend on who you ask and what experience they may have.

For many things "regular basis" may be fine but the oil changes MUST be done within the stated time/mileage requirements. Yes you can do them yourself but you need to be able to prove you did them within the requirements or any related warranty work could (and probably will) be denied.
Not sure if they would nail you on the brake service if you had a claim but would presume that as long as you can prove you did it within the specified time you would be OK.
