Default Hydraulic Clutch adjustment

2019 Limited, doing the 5k service at home, mostly done but didn't see a way to adjust the clutch, mine is fine but curious if its possible. the Dealer told me they adjust them on the 1k service and actually adjust it at every service. since they charge $500. my 09 I can adjust.

I don't see it in the Service manual and I am pretty sure they are just saying **** to add fluff to justify their price.

The hydraulic clutch is not adjustable.

They make themselves look pretty silly when they speak without thinking, don't they?

I bet their $500 5K service includes greasing the muffler bearings

If they had said that to me, I'd be more worried about why they felt they could say that to me. I'd think, "Do I come across that incompetent?"

It self adjust to the way it feels at the lever. Until the actual clutch wears out.
