At 50,000 mile's you replace the transmission fluid and filter no flushing there.Power steering fluid i would leave that alone unless something fail's like the pump or rack.The brake fluid i would have tested every few year's that will get water etc in it and doesn't hurt to flush when needed.Place's make a lot of money flushing fluid's for no good reason.

You replace that when you replace the fuel pump the filter is part of the fuel pump module.So you don't have to worry about the fuel filter.
