Default Just to be sure.....

Other than an oil change, a cleaning (cleaning?) of the cabin air filter, and possibly keeping your warranty intact, the remainder of the service could be nothing more than the technician at the dealer taking a one-hour coffee break. I'd request to have the dirt that was recovered from the air filter cleaning returned to you "just to be sure".......

Oil & filter change and do cabin filter yourself. Depending on dusty condition from where you are, it may need to replace at 15k miles. Get few new ones on ebay, which *looks* better and costs much less than the newly updated version at the dealer. If DIY, be sure to follow the direction.
