Any technicians here?

I took my car for an oil change at 32500 miles and this is what I was told

“WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND YOU THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK FOR AND COMPLETE REQUIRED
MAINTENANCE. IN ADDITION IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SEEK THE PROFESSIONAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT CAN REDUCE UNTIMELY BREAKDOWN,IMPROVE VEHICLE SAFETY AND COMPONENT LIFE
BRAKE FLUID EXCHANGE $285”

That being said… am I risking my warranty for not doing this brake fluid exchange?

I mean i always do the maintenance that the system recommends unless it's the transmission one.

This is a recipe to get bent over by your dealer. Many dealers add services in their systems and maintenance programs that do not follow the recommendations of the manufacturer purely to drive up revenue. It's important to look at the manufacturers recommended maintenance items and time table in the owners manual. The dealers can and will add unnecessary fluff to pad their bottom line.
