Yeah, and why he's at it, he should also get the AC compressor and the
alternator replaced. (rolling eyes).

============

On what planet would the AC compressor make your **necessarily** car stop
running? The word "necessarily" eliminates mentioning the one exceptional
condition under which it might happen, because that situation is avoidable
by operating a switch.

You obviously missed the point. No comment on the alternator? What
about the power steering pump...should he get that replaced also?
==================

I just checked my manual and found no manufacturer-recommended replacement
intervals for the items you mentioned. Therefore, they are not in the same
category as an item which DOES come with such recommendations.
