That is correct.

However, you may want to peruse the Warranty booklet that came with your
shiny new car. This booklet (published by American Honda) will tell you
what exactly you need to do to the car in order to keep your warranty
valid, this being entirely independent of what the franchised dealer wants
you to do.

The dealer, of course (being an independent company from Honda), would like
you to give them more money than you might otherwise bestow. What they want
you to spend will certainly do the car good and not harm, but is it really
necessary? Not if Honda doesn't say it's necessary. Clear as mud?
