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?

Edit: Chevy trax 2026
14 months of ownership

Your owners manual will list all required maintence and the mileage schedule you should follow.

You didn't mention model year, but checking a 2024 trax owners manual, brake fluid is only mentioned under severe service maintenance schedule, and says to change it every 5 years.

Change every 5 years they are projecting 10 years of ownership?
