Actually our cars have similar mileage and I was thinking the opposite. This is a good opportunity to get a LOT of zero mileage parts on my car, particularly seals, gaskets and such. I would be more likely to NOT do this if my car had fewer miles on it. I would wait until I had over 100K miles then take it in rather than replacing relatively new parts that work.

Just a different way of looking at it. It's the same reason I had the "cricket TSB" done right before the warranty expired. I didn't need it, but it zeroed out my pump.
The Japanese equivalent of my local yocals? I would tend to believe that most of the car is assembled by robots that assemble it in a precise orderly procedure. And it's the only thing they do. My local yocals mostly work on Corollas and Tundra's. And I think that the more seals, gaskets and such that they touch increases the odds of something new leaking.
But that's just my opinion.
