12 year old fluid. I'd change both for sure. Ever hear of condensation from heat cycles?
As a retired dealer Service Manager I can say there is no quota to meet. Advisor is doing just that, his/her job. Go to one of those quick lube places and see the wallet flushes they offer to meet quotas. It was a recommendation without a gun put to the head. Easily done yourself for cheap..
Just sayin.
