IMO the biggest thing is checking the oil and other fluids-- most people can hardly find the battery let along dipstick. gree twice year is good cheap insurance...
Valid debate point - kudos

Just happened to buy a new Honda this week (CRV EX-L). The warranty book uses lots of words like "should" "may revoke" "recommendations". But I agree that as long as you don't let the darn thing run dry you should be OK even without the paper trail.
