I put less than 3,000 miles since the last maintenance due to pandemic. The CBS monitor says that engine oil and brake fluid change is required.
I wonder if I should still pay attention to timing (1 year between services) as oppose to actual mileage? Changing oil and brake fluid after just 3K miles does not make much sense to me .
Any thoughts?

Personally, I would not change the engine oil after one year and only 3000 miles. However, with regards to brake fluid, you would be well-advised to change it after 2 years because it is Hygroscopic and absorbs water. If you want to know why, just read the following information:
