Very slightly in their defense I can say that "by the book" is probably pushed on mechanics because it limits liability. Generally speaking as a mechanic if you followed the procedure nobody can get mad at you if something goes wrong.
Now, that being said Im shocked that follow on maintenance for the replacement of a major engine component wouldnt involve a fluid change. Especially when metal wear and tear could be involved. I think I might have asked to see the procedure.
