My dealer's service dept. claim they need to lube my spark plugs for $130. Their reason for this - they use platinum spark plugs that react with the aluminum cylinder head causing corrosion.
Is this a scam?

For $130, this is very very pricey. Yes it is a good idea to remove the spark plugs and apply a TINY bit of anti-seize to them. However, for $130, it is a rip off.
