Just like any car that gets worked on, I would use the term "Preventative Maintenance"

Its like eating right and exercising.

Lots of people dont do it at all and nothing bad happens to them.
They live a long time and die old.

Some of them, however, fall over dead at 45 years old when they could have had a MUCH longer, healthier life if they had only done that ol preventative maintenance

Its your call, either way I think the guy at your dealer is giving you bad advice.
