ah ha! The old medal shavings bit! I think folks Dads tell them that bit and folks carry it for life. If the book does not tell you to do it...it does not need to be done. Does not matter what car it is some folks just like spending money unnecessarily thinking they a taking care of the car. It does not hurt, but is usually not needed.
