Are $1k worth dealer recommended services not in the manual a scam?

[Sportbob]

Hi All, I went in for an oil change at 50k with my 2018 Ram 1500 and they tried selling me $1k worth of maintenance that is not in my owners manual. Fuel/air induction clean-up, brake fluid exchange & 4x4 differential service. Are these really necessary or am I being scammed? Thanks!

yes a way to legally transfer your money to the dealerships bank account but still a scam.

All part of the dealer service volume sales programs.

Yeah all nonsense unless your towing a 40 ft trailer in 4 wheel drive on clear roads for 50,000 miles.

Scam, especially at that price.

WTF is a fuel/air induction clean-up? They are just trying to get you to spend money.
