Probably not required until at least 30K miles, but no harm to ask. Ask your shop if there’s any transmission servicing suggested at this point too. But you definitely don’t want the coolant to ever become acidic enough to start eating away at the cooling system & engine parts. Not a problem at first b/c it starts out new as quite basic (alkaline pH). Over time the coolant becomes more and more acidic. If they think you are approaching a good time, suggest to do that. That’s not so much done on a miles basis as a years in service basis. Ask the shop if they’d recommend the cooling system be emptied and refilled with fresh coolant. I wouldn’t change-out the brake fluid myself at this point, would wait until 30K miles. I probably wouldn’t rotate the tires until 20 - 24K miles unless there was a reason, like tread patterns developing, or vibrations noticed indicating wheel weights may have fallen off. How many miles ago was that service done on your car? A new engine air filter at 15 K miles makes sense. Oil and filter changes should occur more frequently than every 15K miles. In any event, if this were my car, here’s what I’d be thinking … As posted above, your owner’s manual should tell you Honda’s suggested service schedule for your car, either that or the car’s computer will issues reminders on the in-car display. The dealership has an inherent conflict of interest and may be tempted to sell you something you don’t actually need, just because you happen to be there. Unless & until you ask an independent expert for their opinion. Suggest to focus on the tasks needed, and avoid agreeing to extra optional services they may offer. It avoids future issues whether the maintenance work was done correctly or used the correct materials, in the event a problem develops. The dealership is good place for this sort of thing imo.
