Nothing is absolutely necessary for your car. I've seem report / photo / videos of car not changing oil for many years. Service interval in time and mileage is an advise from the manufacturing company. If you don't care about warranty (if any), you can ignore as you wish.
Just like doctor can advise to stop smoking, but you can also ignore. My ah ma live relatively healthy as a smoker till 80+, my father live relatively unhealthy as a smoker till 60+. You car may or may not live long, just don't regret when you kena repair bills lo.
Oh ya, many parts do age with time, regardless of the mileage. Rubber, belt, oil, etc. Even tyre have expiry date.
Right, concurs with you. Some parts especially rubber parts will age over time, regardless of mileage.
Main point of the thread, 1st service inspection absolutely necessary? If don't strictly follow, the warranty can be void.
That's my point of discussion.
I'm closing this thread for further replies. Got other matters to attend to... won't be able to reply all.
