For me paranoia is to not follow the advise of your dealer and follow someone on the internet that you don't know anything about him. Then if something goes wrong, to go back to the dealer pretending that you didn't change anything (because you feel guilty or you want to cheat) and then request for a fix (within or outside guarantee). Even if someone thinks that the change was irrelevant with the problem, it is not his job to decide. It is the job of the dealer.

I mean, my dealer service advisor told me when challenged on the topic that the transmission fluid doesn't need to be changed at 22,5 or anywhere near that even though it says exactly that in the vendor literature that comes with the car. I'm sure it had more to do with them not wanting to do it since I bought it certified used at around 23,000 and it should have already been done. Still, I changed it myself not long after since they wouldn't and it cleared up most of my rough shifting into second. A "trust but verify" policy on these cars really is your best bet because a lot of dealers out there can't even follow their own factory recommendations.
